Open Acces Policy

International Journal of Critical Sustainability is a fully open access journal, which means that all articles are freely available online immediately upon publication without any subscription, access fee, or registration barrier.

Key Principles:

• Free and Global Access
  Readers anywhere in the world have free and unrestricted access to all published content.

• Author Rights
  Authors retain copyright of their work and grant the journal the right of first publication under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). This permits others to share, adapt, and build upon the work, even commercially, as long as proper credit is given to the original authors and source.

• Promotion of Knowledge Equity
  Our open access policy supports the global exchange of knowledge, particularly benefiting researchers, practitioners, and students in low- and middle-income countries who may lack access to subscription-based resources.
