Our journal supports the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition, as declared at http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read. We apply single-blind open access in our reviewing tasks.

"Open access" means the free availability of scholarly publications 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.
