Open Access Policy

Indonesian Journal of Community Service in Education (IJCSE) is a fully open-access journal committed to the unrestricted dissemination of scholarly knowledge. All articles published in the journal are made immediately and permanently available online without charge to readers or their institutions.

This policy is founded on the principle that free and unrestricted access to scientific knowledge promotes greater visibility, accessibility, collaboration, and global exchange of ideas in educational community service and community engagement.

Readers may freely access all published content without subscription fees, registration, or paywalls. Users are permitted to:

• Read and download published articles.
• Copy, print, and distribute articles.
• Search and link to the full text of articles.
• Use published content for educational and research purposes.
• Reuse articles in accordance with the journal's licensing policy.

No prior permission is required from either the publisher or the authors, provided that appropriate attribution is given and the applicable licensing terms are respected.

Articles published in IJCSE are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) License, which permits sharing and adaptation of published material provided that proper attribution is given and any derivative works are distributed under the same license.

Open-access publishing provides several important advantages for authors, readers, and the wider academic community:

• Immediate and unrestricted worldwide access to published articles.
• Greater visibility, discoverability, readership, and citation potential.
• Faster dissemination of scholarly knowledge and community service innovations.
• Authors retain copyright of their published work.
• Elimination of subscription barriers, enabling equitable access for researchers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, and the general public.

The journal's Open Access Policy is consistent with the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which advocates unrestricted access to scholarly literature in order to accelerate research, education, innovation, and the global exchange of knowledge.
