Open Access Policy

JSD is a fully open-access journal (diamond-like for readers): all articles are freely available online immediately upon publication, without subscription, registration or any charge to readers.

This follows the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge, increases the visibility and citation of research, and benefits science and society.

What Readers Can Do

  • Read, download, copy and print the full text of any article.
  • Distribute and share articles, including in repositories and course materials.
  • Text- and data-mine the content, and link to the full text.
  • Adapt and build upon the work for any purpose, including commercial use, under the terms of the license.
