JOSST provides immediate open access to all articles, making research freely available to the public; supports a greater global exchange of knowledge; and maximizes the visibility and impact of research.

This means:

• everyone has free and unlimited access to the full-text of all articles published in JOSST;
• everyone is free to re-use the published material if proper accreditation/citation of the original publication is given;
• it provides an opportunity for potential benefits for society;
• this can improve the research profile of the author(s);

Important Note: some articles (especially Reviews) may contain figures, tables or text taken from other publications, for which JOSST does not hold the copyright or the right to re-license the published material. Please note that you should inquire with the original copyright holder (usually the original publisher or authors), whether or not this material can be re-used.

Please note that the publication costs for articles published in JOSST are currently covered by Universitas Lampung, and you will therefore not have to pay an article publication charge (APC).
