Open Access Policy

The Asian Journal of Arts and Social Sciences (AJASS) is committed to the principles of open access. We believe that knowledge should be freely accessible to everyone, and that unrestricted access to scholarly research promotes learning, innovation, and global collaboration.

  1. Open Access Statement

AJASS provides immediate open access to all published content. All articles are freely available online without any subscription or payment barriers. Readers may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles without prior permission from the publisher or the author, provided proper attribution is given.

  1. Licensing

All articles published in AJASS are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license permits users to:

  • Share copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
  • Adapt remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially

As long as appropriate credit is given to the original author(s) and the source, and a link to the license is provided.

  1. Copyright and Author Rights

Authors retain full copyright of their work. Upon publication, authors grant AJASS the right to publish and disseminate their work electronically and in print. Authors may:

  • Archive pre-print and post-print versions of their manuscript
  • Distribute their article on personal or institutional websites
  • Share the article via academic networks or repositories
  1. Repository Policy

AJASS encourages authors to deposit a copy of their published article in:

  • Institutional repositories
  • Subject-based repositories (e.g., SSRN, RePEc)
  • Author’s personal website
  • Any other open access archive

All deposits must include a citation and link to the official published version on the AJASS website.

  1. Article Processing Charges (APCs)

All articles published in the Asian Journal of Arts and Social Sciences (AJASS) are freely available online as open access. To support this model, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is required to cover various publishing services, including editorial and author tools, article production, website hosting, abstracting and indexing services, and customer support.

There are no fees during the submission or peer-review stages. The APC is only charged after a manuscript is accepted for publication.

  • APC for Bangladeshi authors: BDT 5,000
  • APC for international authors: USD 45
