Open Access Policy

The Journal of Post-Quantum Cryptography and Systems is committed to the principles of open and unrestricted access to scholarly knowledge. In alignment with the Budapest Open Access Initiative, the journal provides immediate, full-text access to all published articles free of charge and without any subscription or access fees.

We believe that open access to high-quality academic research is essential for fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and globally connected scholarly community. By removing financial and legal barriers, the journal promotes broader participation in academic discourse and enables researchers, educators, students, and professionals worldwide to benefit from scientific advancements.

All content published in the journal is:

• Freely accessible online to readers across the world
• Available for reading, downloading, printing, distributing, linking, and sharing
• Usable for any lawful purpose, provided proper attribution is given to the original authors and the journal

This open-access model enhances the visibility, accessibility, and impact of research in post-quantum cryptography, cybersecurity, and advanced cryptographic systems, particularly supporting researchers and institutions with limited access to subscription-based resources.

The journal adheres to recognised best practices in open-access scholarly publishing. Each submitted manuscript undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure academic integrity, originality, and relevance. The editorial and review standards are designed to maintain the highest levels of scholarly quality and ethical responsibility.

Through this publication and access policy, the journal provides a global platform for researchers and practitioners to share innovative findings and contribute to the advancement of the post-quantum cryptography and cybersecurity community.
