OPEN ACCESS STATEMENT

The journal provides immediate free access to the full texts of the issues published. No user registration is required. No embargo is applied.

The journal fully supports the open science initiative, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author.

The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

The journal, thus, adheres to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of open access.
