Open Access Policies

All papers published by Insights Publisher are free of charge. Because to the cost compensation from the Bonoi Academy of Science and Education (BASE), our authors are no longer required to pay the article processing charge (APC).

 

All research articles published in Insights Publisher journals (Science Insights, Science Insights Education Frontiers, and Best Evidence in Chinese Education) are fully open access: immediately freely available to read, download and share. Articles are published under the terms of a Creative Commons license which permits use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Definition of Open Access Publication from OpenAccess.nl: An Open Access Publication is one that meets the following two conditions:

 

• The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant(s) to all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and to make and distribute derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship, as well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies for their personal use.
• A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission as stated above, in a suitable standard electronic format is deposited immediately upon initial publication in at least one online repository that is supported by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving.

 

Notes:

Open access is a property of individual works, not necessarily journals or publishers.

Community standards, rather than copyright law, will continue to provide the mechanism for enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of the published work, as they do now.
