Open Access Policy

Legal Research & Analysis is a fully open access journal, committed to the principle that making research freely available to the public supports greater global exchange of knowledge and advances legal scholarship. All articles published in the journal are immediately open access upon publication, with no embargo period and no subscription fees. Readers worldwide can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles without any restrictions or registration requirements. Authors are strongly encouraged to deposit the final published version (publisher’s PDF) of their articles in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal websites, or academic networking platforms immediately upon publication. When depositing, authors should include a link to the original article on the journal’s website along with the DOI for proper attribution. This open access policy ensures maximum visibility, impact, and citation potential for published legal research while complying with major open access standards (e.g., DOAJ requirements).
