Open Access

PADiR Journal publishes its articles under the Creative Commons (CC) License. We recognize that every article is the intellectual work of its author; however, upon publication, certain publishing rights are shared with the publisher. Therefore, authors grant the journal specific publishing rights through a publication agreement completed at the time of submission. This agreement enables the journal to distribute, publish, and index articles widely. Nevertheless, the journal never infringes upon the author's intellectual property rights, which remain fully protected. Any violation of these rights is contrary to our Open Access policy.

A printed copy of each published issue is permanently maintained by the publisher as a secure archival backup. This ensures that the electronic content remains available even if access through other means becomes unavailable.

The journal's contents are also indexed in numerous file-sharing services and abstracting and indexing databases, making all published articles freely available for online access and download.
