Overview
Unlocking Knowledge. Empowering Innovation.
The Journal of Interdisciplinary Social, Digital, Creative & Engineering Studies (JISDCES) proudly adheres to a Gold Open Access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide—immediately upon publication, without any subscription or paywall barriers.
What Is Open Access?
Open Access (OA) is the free, immediate, and unrestricted online availability of scholarly research. It eliminates price and permission barriers, allowing anyone—researchers, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and the general public—to read, download, share, and reuse academic work. This model accelerates global knowledge exchange and fosters greater innovation, equity, and transparency in research dissemination.
While Open Access content is available at no cost to readers, it is still subject to rigorous peer review and editorial standards to ensure high quality and credibility. JISDCES primarily supports Open Access through peer-reviewed scholarly journals and repositories, enabling the widest reach and impact for academic contributions.
