Open Access Statement

- NTMS is an open-access journal that publishes articles following the open-access model based on the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) Declaration. 

- The definition of open access was introduced 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 appropriately acknowledged and cited."
