Open Access Policy

1. Open Access Statement

The Journal of Computer Science Application and Engineering (JOSAPEN), published by Lentera Ilmu Publisher, is committed to supporting the dissemination of scientific knowledge through open access publishing. The journal provides immediate online access to its published articles to promote the exchange of research findings, encourage academic collaboration, and support the advancement of science, technology, and engineering.

JOSAPEN believes that unrestricted access to scholarly research can benefit researchers, academics, students, professionals, institutions, and the wider community. Accordingly, readers can access, read, and download published articles without subscription fees or mandatory payment for access to individual articles.

2. Free Access to Published Articles

All articles published in JOSAPEN are made available online without subscription charges or pay-per-view fees. Readers do not need to purchase individual articles to access the journal's published research.

Subject to the applicable copyright and licensing terms, readers may read, download, save, print, and share published articles for permitted scholarly, educational, and other uses.

JOSAPEN aims to maintain public access to its published content through its official journal website and appropriate digital preservation arrangements, subject to the availability of the relevant services.

3. Open Access Principles

JOSAPEN follows the principle that making scholarly research freely accessible can support the wider dissemination and use of scientific knowledge. The journal's open access approach is intended to:

  • Remove financial barriers to reading published research.

  • Support researchers and institutions with limited access to subscription-based resources.

  • Encourage the dissemination and visibility of scholarly findings.

  • Facilitate academic communication, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

  • Support education, research development, and evidence-based innovation.

Open access to an article does not mean that copyright protection is waived. The use, distribution, reproduction, and adaptation of published content remain subject to the license and copyright terms applicable to that article.

4. Copyright and Licensing

Authors' copyright and the permitted reuse of published articles are governed by the journal's Copyright and License Policy and the license stated on each article.

Readers and other users must comply with the applicable license conditions when reproducing, distributing, adapting, or otherwise reusing published material. Appropriate attribution to the original authors and source must be provided as required by the relevant license.

Where an article is published under a Creative Commons license, users should consult the specific license statement accompanying that article to determine the permitted uses and applicable conditions.

5. Access for Authors

JOSAPEN provides authors with online access to their published articles through the journal's website. Authors may share their published work in accordance with the article's copyright and licensing terms and any applicable journal policies.

Authors are encouraged to share links to the official published version to facilitate accurate citation, improve discoverability, and direct readers to the authoritative version of the article.

Any additional rights concerning repository deposits, manuscript versions, or redistribution are governed by the journal's applicable copyright, licensing, and archiving policies.

6. Access and Publication Fees

Readers are not charged subscription fees or individual article access fees to read or download content published by JOSAPEN.

Any fees that may apply to authors, including submission, processing, publication, or other service charges, are separate from reader access fees and are governed by the journal's official publication fee policy. Authors should consult that policy for current information about applicable charges, exemptions, or waivers.

7. Digital Preservation and Continued Access

JOSAPEN recognizes the importance of maintaining access to published research over the long term. The journal aims to preserve its published content through appropriate digital archiving, backup, and preservation arrangements, subject to the services and procedures actually implemented by the publisher.

Information about the journal's preservation arrangements is provided in its Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy. Open access availability and long-term preservation are related but distinct commitments; continued access may depend on the effectiveness of the journal's preservation arrangements and the availability of relevant technical services.

8. Commitment to Accessible Scholarly Communication

JOSAPEN is committed to promoting the broad dissemination of research while respecting copyright, licensing conditions, research integrity, and publication ethics. The journal may periodically review this policy to reflect developments in scholarly publishing and its own publishing practices.

For questions regarding access to published articles, copyright, licensing, or permitted reuse, readers may contact the JOSAPEN editorial office through the contact information provided on the journal's official website.
