Open Access Policy
- update at: 28 Jan 2025
At Vast Vision Press, we are committed to advancing the global dissemination of scientific knowledge through our Open Access publishing model. As a leading publisher of peer-reviewed academic journals, we believe that research should be accessible to all, regardless of financial or institutional barriers.
What is Open Access?
Open Access (OA) ensures that all published articles are freely available online without subscription fees or access restrictions. This model empowers researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the general public to access, read, and share scientific advancements without limitations.
Our Commitment to Open Access

- Creative Commons Licenses: We use Creative Commons licenses (typically CC BY) to ensure that authors retain copyright while allowing unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of their work, provided proper credit is given.
- Transparent Article Processing Charges (APC): To support Open Access, we charge Article Processing Charges (APC) to cover publication costs, including peer review, editing, and hosting. The specific APC details are transparently outlined for each journal.
- Author Rights: Authors retain full copyright to their published work and have the freedom to share their research widely without limitations.
- Long-Term Preservation: We ensure that all published content is preserved in digital archives, guaranteeing perpetual access to the research.
