At UTU, we are dedicated to advancing the principles of open access, which is at the core of our mission to foster the widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge. We firmly believe that research should be freely accessible to all, empowering researchers, educators, policymakers, and the public to benefit from the latest discoveries and advancements.
-
Open Access Journals:
- We offer a wide range of open access journals that provide unrestricted access to published research articles. We ensure that anyone, regardless of their affiliation or location, can freely read, download, share, and build upon the findings presented in our journals.
-
Author Retention of Copyright:
- We strongly support the rights of authors and their intellectual property. At UTU, authors retain the copyright to their published work, granting us a non-exclusive license to disseminate their research. This empowers authors to control the use and reuse of their content, promoting responsible and ethical sharing within the scientific community.
-
Archiving and Preservation:
- We are committed to preserving the scholarly record and ensuring long-term access to published research. Our platform partners with reputable digital repositories and archiving systems to ensure the continued availability and accessibility of published content, even in the face of technological advancements or unforeseen circumstances.
-
Discoverability and Indexing:
- We recognize the importance of making research easily discoverable and accessible to the global scientific community. To enhance the visibility of our open access journals, we actively work with indexing services, databases, and search engines to ensure that articles are indexed, searchable, and widely disseminated. This maximizes the potential impact and reach of published research.
-
Funding and Sustainability:
- To support our open access publishing model, we employ various funding mechanisms. These may include article processing charges (APCs) or other sustainable funding models. We are committed to providing transparent and affordable publishing options and offer waivers or discounts to ensure equitable access for authors from low-income countries or institutions with limited resources.
We invite researchers, scholars, and scientists to embrace the principles of open access and contribute to the global knowledge-sharing ecosystem by publishing with UTU. Together, we can accelerate scientific progress, drive innovation, and make a meaningful impact on society.
