Journal of Sustainable Decisions Intelligence and Optimization (JSDIO) is dedicated to the principles of full and immediate Open Access. We believe that unrestricted access to high-quality research fosters global knowledge exchange, accelerates innovation, and supports inclusive academic and societal progress.

JSDIO ensures that all published content is freely accessible to readers worldwide, without financial, legal, or technical barriers.

Policy Details

Immediate and Permanent Access

All articles are made freely available online immediately upon publication, with no embargo periods, subscription fees, or registration requirements. Readers may read, download, copy, distribute, and link to the full text of articles without restriction.

Author Rights

Authors retain full copyright of their work. They are entitled to:

• Reuse their content in teaching, presentations, and future publications.
• Deposit the final published version in institutional or subject repositories.
• Share the article on personal websites, academic platforms, and social media.
• Create derivative works for non-commercial purposes under the same license.

Licensing

All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. This license permits:

• Sharing and adapting the work for non-commercial purposes.
• Attribution to the original author(s) and source.
• Distribution of derivative works under the same license.

This licensing model supports ethical reuse, collaborative scholarship, and responsible dissemination of research.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

JSDIO currently does not charge any APCs for accepted manuscripts. This waiver applies for the journal development period of 2-3 years following the journal's official launch. During this initial phase, all publication costs are fully supported by the Journal Publisher.

At the conclusion of this period, the APC policy will be reviewed and updated based on sustainability, operational needs, and community feedback. Any changes to the APC policy will be communicated transparently to authors well in advance.

Benefits of Open Access

The JSDIO Open Access model offers significant advantages:

• Enhanced Visibility and Impact: Open access articles are more discoverable, leading to increased readership, citations, and academic influence.
• Global Knowledge Equity: Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers—especially in low- and middle-income countries—can access and apply findings without cost.
• Faster Innovation and Collaboration: Freely available research accelerates interdisciplinary collaboration and the translation of knowledge into practice.
• Compliance with Funder Mandates: JSDIO's open access policy aligns with the requirements of major research funders, institutions, and open science initiatives.

Statement of Principle

JSDIO upholds the belief that open access to research is a public good. We are committed to making peer-reviewed, high-quality research accessible to the widest possible audience, thereby contributing to scientific advancement, sustainable development, and societal well-being.
