Open Access Policy
The Journal of Multidisciplinary and Translational Studies (JMTS) of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, adheres to open-access publishing, with all content accessible without a subscription cost, striving to ensure that knowledge is universally accessible and unrestricted. Since the JMTS is an open-access publication, neither the user nor their institution will be charged for access to any of the content. The complete texts of the articles may be read, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed, searched, linked to, and used for any other permissible purpose without prior permission from the publisher or author. Sign the BOIA declaration if possible.
This approach encourages the wide dissemination of scientific discoveries, thus enhancing collaboration and innovation. Authors retain copyright under a Creative Commons license, which allows individuals to distribute their work with proper attribution while maintaining it unchanged and non-commercial. This commitment reflects the journal's mission to advance scholarly communication and worldwide knowledge sharing.
Advantages for authors by Open Access Policy:

We absolutely think that information should be accessible to everyone, irrespective of institutional, financial, or geographic constraints. Our commitment to open access stems from several core concepts:
1. Global Accessibility: We pledge to make all of our published material openly accessible, so that anybody, wherever in the world, can freely access, read, download, and disseminate our research articles without any restrictions.
2. Community Support: Collaboration, creativity, and the sharing of ideas among researchers, academics, students, and practitioners are encouraged by open access. We want to enable people to interact with cutting-edge information and build stronger research communities by providing unlimited access to our publications.
3. Author Empowerment: We recognise the importance of researchers being able to efficiently share their findings. With the help of our open access strategy, authors may reach a larger audience, which raises the profile and significance of their work.
4. Visibility and Impact: Research findings are more easily disseminated globally and have more potential for practical applications when published in open access papers, which are also more often read and referenced.
5. Knowledge and Preservation: Our publications include a rich cultural and scientific legacy that we are committed to protecting. We make sure that research publications are preserved for future generations to access through long-term archiving, which adds to the continuous body of knowledge.
6. Ethical Publishing Standards: To preserve the standard and integrity of the research we publish, the Journal of Multidisciplinary and Translational Research Publications adheres to strict editorial guidelines and peer review procedures. Our dedication to moral publication procedures guarantees that scientific quality is not endangered by open access.
