Open Access Policy

Open Access Commitment

All journals published by Chun Cheng Publisher (CCP) follow a full open access model. This implies the following:

• All articles are freely and permanently available online from the moment of publication.
• There are no subscription fees, no access barriers, and no registration requirements for readers.

This approach supports global sharing of knowledge and allows every researcher, educator, and reader to benefit from the latest discoveries without limitation.

Licensing and Reuse

All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence (CC BY 4.0) unless stated otherwise. This licence permits anyone to read, share, copy, distribute, adapt, translate, or build upon the work for any purpose, including commercial reuse. Examples of permitted commercial applications include incorporation into textbooks, professional training materials, policy reports, educational resources, and other industry-related projects.

Users must provide appropriate credit to the original author and source, include a link to the CC BY 4.0 licence, and indicate if any changes were made. The integrity of the scholarly work should be preserved when reused or adapted.

Author Copyright and Rights

Authors retain full copyright ownership of their published work.

Upon acceptance, authors grant CCP a permission to publish and distribute the final version of the article. Authors are free to reuse, share, or archive their work in any repository, institutional platform, or public database without restrictions.

Authors are fully responsible for ensuring that any third-party content included in their manuscript, such as images, figures, datasets, or copyrighted text, has obtained the necessary permissions from the original copyright holder. By submitting the manuscript, authors confirm that all such permissions have been secured and properly acknowledged in the article.

Long Term Preservation and Discoverability

Every article published by the CCP receives a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to ensure permanent access.

The publisher is committed to long-term preservation through participation in recognized archiving programs such as the PKP Preservation Network (PN).

Metadata are registered with Crossref and other indexing services to enhance discoverability and citation.

Funder and Institutional Compliance

The open access model and CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license comply with the policies of most research funders and institutions.

Authors are responsible for checking their own funding requirements and ensuring that all necessary information, including grant numbers and funding acknowledgments, is included in their article.

The editorial office can assist authors with documentation for compliance if required.

Equity and Global Access

CCP is committed to research equality and inclusion.
Open access helps remove barriers for authors and readers in every region of the world.

We aim to support researchers from developing regions and promote fair access to scientific knowledge.

This principle aligns with the company’s mission to bridge research, policy, and practice through shared learning and collaboration.
