Mediterranean Journal of Gender and Women’s Studies has adopted an open access policy based on the principle that offering scientific studies free to the public will increase the global sharing of information. Access to our journal is free. All articles published by the journal are available online immediately after publication, without article processing fees or article submission fees.

In accordance with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), open access means “its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.” You can access the broader BOAI definition via http://www.budapestopenaccessi nitiative.org/read.
