Frequently Asked Questions
Open access means that research outputs are disseminated online, free of cost, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Anyone with an internet connection can read, download, copy, and distribute the work.
No. Open access is about access, not quality control. All articles published on Scixa undergo the same rigorous peer review process regardless of access model. In fact, open access can enhance quality through increased scrutiny and post-publication review.
At Scixa, we do not charge authors for open access publication. We believe that open access should not create financial barriers for authors. Our platform is supported by institutional partnerships and voluntary contributions.
You retain full copyright to your work. You choose the Creative Commons license that best reflects how you want others to use your work. You can post your article on your personal website, institutional repository, or anywhere else.
Yes, depending on the license you choose. If you select CC BY or CC BY-SA, others can use your work commercially. If you prefer to restrict commercial use, you can choose CC BY-NC or CC BY-NC-SA.
Cite open access articles the same way you would cite any other scholarly work. Include author names, title, journal, year, volume, issue, pages, and DOI. The fact that it's open access doesn't change citation format.
