Open Access

The journal operates under a full Open Access model: all content is freely available to readers without subscription or paywall. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search the full texts, and link to them, provided that proper attribution is given to the authors and the journal.

All content is published under a Creative Commons license (e.g., CC BY 4.0) which permits reuse, distribution, and reproduction in any medium as long as the original author and source are credited.

Article Processing Charge

Academos journal charges authors costs of publishing papers in the amount of 10 Euros (600 MKD). The Article Processing Charge is a fee charged to authors to allow for immediate, unrestricted access to the full version of the article. Please note that the payment of this charge does not guarantee acceptance of the manuscript for publication and does not influence the outcome of the review procedure. 

The Article Processing Charge covers all post-acceptance production activities (copyediting, XML/JATS conversion, layout design, and proofreading), as well as platform hosting (OJS), DOI registration and membership fees, long-term digital archiving, website maintenance, and editorial office operations.

Archiving and Digital Preservation

To ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content, Academos journal adopts a multi-level archiving strategy:

  • Institutional Archiving: All published articles are preserved within the OJS platform of the journal and backed up on secure institutional servers.
  • National Legal Deposit: In accordance with the Law on Library Activity of the Republic of North Macedonia, digital copies of the journal are deposited in the National and University Library “St. Kliment Ohridski” – Skopje as part of the national legal deposit system.
  • International Preservation Networks: The journal participates in recognized global archiving systems such as the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), ensuring long-term storage and redundancy.
  • Open Access Repositories: Authors and institutions are encouraged to self-archive published versions in institutional and subject-based repositories, in alignment with the journal’s open-access policy.

Through these measures, the journal guarantees that its content remains permanently accessible, citable, and protected against data loss.
