Open Access Policy

International Journal of Health, Economics, and Social Science (IJHESS) provides immediate open access to all published content based on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports the global exchange of knowledge and promotes wider dissemination of scientific information.

All articles published in IJHESS are freely accessible online without subscription fees or access restrictions. Readers may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts of articles for lawful academic and educational purposes without prior permission from the publisher or authors, provided that proper citation and acknowledgment of the original work are maintained.

IJHESS believes that open access publishing:

  • Enhances the visibility and impact of scholarly research

  • Encourages academic collaboration and knowledge sharing

  • Supports innovation and evidence-based policymaking

  • Promotes equitable access to scientific information worldwide

The journal is committed to ensuring that research findings are accessible to researchers, educators, students, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider public across different countries and disciplines.

Published articles in IJHESS are available electronically through the journal website and may be archived in indexing databases, institutional repositories, and academic platforms to ensure long-term accessibility and preservation.

The publisher, Universitas Muhammadiyah Palu, supports the principles of open scientific communication and academic transparency through this open-access publishing model.
