Open Access Policy

The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license makes all articles published in the International Journal of Politics and International Relations (IJPIR) openly accessible.

This means that all published articles are freely available for anyone to read, download, and share immediately upon publication, without any cost or embargo period.

  • Peer-reviewed scholarly content is available free of charge, without subscription or financial barriers.

  • Articles are published in an open-access format immediately upon release, with no embargo.

  • Published material may be reused, distributed, or adapted without seeking prior permission, provided appropriate credit is given to the original authors and source.

  • Copyright remains with the author(s), ensuring they retain control over their work.
