All content published in the journal is freely accessible to everyone from the moment of publication. This approach reflects our journal’s fundamental belief that scientific communication is a public responsibility.

Publisher Commitment

At DÜOD, we believe that an effective open access model is possible through a system centered on user rights, copyright ownership, and transparent licensing. By adopting the CC BY-NC 4.0 license, we aim to guarantee free public access to research outputs while also protecting authors’ intellectual rights and encouraging the dissemination of information for non-commercial purposes.

Global Commitment

As a sign of its commitment to open access principles, DÜOD endorses the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) declaration, considered one of the fundamental texts in this field. This initiative supports the vision of free online access to scientific research and reinforces our journal’s support for this universal goal.
