This journal provides immediate open access to its content, operating on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

As an open-access journal, all content (Articles, Case Analyses, and Editorial Commentaries) is available free of charge. Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without prior registration or requiring permission from the publisher or the author.

Archiving Policy

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS systems to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries, permitting those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration purposes. All content in the CLOCKSS Archive and the Global LOCKSS Network is preserved with explicit publisher permission, secured via written contract or through online permission statements. We work closely with LOCKSS network implementers to facilitate development of governance and legal terms that are appropriate to the implicated content, jurisdictions, rights, and access affordances.
