Open Access Policy

Olcinium is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles in this journal without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.

Olcinium is funded by Research and Science. It is not supported by any agency or government. Tariffs for article processing and reconciliation on printing issues are the only source of revenue. The APC is based on the degree of slippage, providing reduced rates for low- and middle-income countries with publication fees. Operating expenses, including the cost of web presence, print version, pre-press training and staff salaries are supported by the aforementioned sources.
