AKSOS JOURNAL adopts the open-access model. Open access is the practice of providing unrestricted and free access to peer-reviewed academic journal content via the internet. All original publications published by AKSOS are freely and permanently accessible online immediately after publication.

The open-access publication model is expected to provide many advantages for AKSOS and authors, such as;

- Easy, free, and unlimited accessibility and high visibility,
- Meticulous and detailed peer-review of academic content,
- High citation count and impact without regional limitations.

In this context, AKSOS does not charge any fee for editorial processing or publication of any research submitted to the journal. Likewise, no fee is paid to the authors or to the referees and field editors who voluntarily take part in the double-blind review process of the published studies.
