Open Access

At the Operations & Sustainable Logistics Management Journal (OSLMJ), we believe that knowledge should be open, accessible, and shared without barriers. Our Open Access Policy is grounded in the conviction that free access to academic research empowers innovation, promotes global collaboration, and accelerates progress in the fields of operations, logistics, and sustainability.

Why We Follow an Open Access Model

We recognize that impactful research should not be confined behind paywalls. By adopting an open-access publishing model, we aim to give every reader, whether an academic, student, policymaker, or industry professional, unrestricted access to the latest findings and ideas. This inclusive approach aligns with our mission to make knowledge a public resource that inspires better decisions and more sustainable practices across industries.

How We Implement It

All articles published in OSLMJ are freely available online immediately after acceptance and publication. Readers can download, cite, and share articles without subscription or registration fees. The costs associated with publication are covered through Article Processing Charges (APCs), ensuring that the journal remains sustainable while maintaining editorial independence and quality.

We publish all works under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) License, which allows others to reuse, distribute, and build upon the research, provided proper credit is given to the original authors. This model enhances the visibility, reach, and citation potential of every published paper.

What Open Access Means for Authors

For authors, publishing with OSLMJ means their work is accessible to a global audience without restriction. It encourages higher readership, greater academic influence, and more opportunities for collaboration and citation. Most importantly, it ensures that valuable research in operations and sustainable logistics contributes directly to real-world improvements, where it matters most.

By choosing OSLMJ, authors join a growing community dedicated to advancing open, ethical, and impactful scholarship that drives the future of sustainable operations.
