European Mechanical Science (EMS) adheres to the Budapest Open Access Initiative and defines its Open Access policy according to the definition developed in the original BOAI:

By “open access” to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean 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. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited. [See, https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai10/]

European Mechanical Science (EMS) views open access to academic publications and research as an immutable part of academic endeavor. EMS charges a fee, regardless of the acceptance/rejection condition, during the article application. The publisher recognizes the essence of public good provided by the journal and hence accepts its responsibility as a public service to academic and intellectual betterment.

The publisher commits to free and universal access to its published content in perpetuity.

The publisher via its host-providing institution Dergipark uses Lockss for the archiving and preservation of its online content.
