Open Access and Free for Readers
JRID is a Scholarly Journal for Multidisciplinary Publications and Transformative Research
Open Access and Free for Readers – JRID's Commitment to Knowledge Equity
The Journal of Research Innovation and Development (JRID) proudly upholds a strong commitment to open access publishing, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to readers worldwide without subscription or payment barriers. In alignment with our mission to promote equitable dissemination of knowledge, JRID supports the global academic community through the principles of accessibility, transparency, and inclusivity.
Why Open Access Matters
In today’s interconnected world, knowledge should not be confined behind paywalls. Open access ensures that students, researchers, educators, professionals, and policymakers—regardless of institutional affiliation or geographic location—can access high-quality research instantly and freely. This model plays a critical role in democratizing knowledge and accelerating the pace of innovation and development, particularly in resource-limited settings.
By removing the traditional subscription model, JRID enables unrestricted reading, downloading, sharing, and citation of published content. This helps maximize the visibility, reach, and impact of scholarly work, making it accessible to the broadest possible audience across disciplines.
Free Access, Global Impact
JRID believes that removing barriers to research supports greater collaboration, fosters academic advancement, and improves real-world decision-making. Whether the content is used by a researcher in a major institution, a graduate student in a developing country, or a policymaker seeking data-driven solutions, JRID’s open access policy ensures that knowledge is a public good—shared, not sold.
All articles published in JRID are made available immediately upon publication, without delay or embargo periods. Readers are encouraged to freely read, share, download, and cite articles, with proper attribution to the authors. This promotes a transparent and fair academic ecosystem where knowledge can be applied, reused, and built upon without restrictions.
Empowering Authors and Institutions
RID’s open access policy also benefits authors by increasing the discoverability and citation potential of their work. Research shows that open access articles often receive more views, downloads, and citations compared to those behind paywalls. Our platform is indexed and archived with global visibility to enhance the long-term impact of every publication.
For institutions, JRID’s model reduces the need for expensive journal subscriptions while expanding access to relevant literature. Libraries, schools, and research organizations can freely integrate JRID’s articles into their learning and research environments.
Support for Developing Countries and Early-Career Researchers
In line with our commitment to knowledge equity, JRID provides discounted or waived article processing charges (APCs) for students, early-career researchers, and contributors from World Bank–classified developing countries. We recognize that while open access should be free to readers, the publishing process entails costs that must be managed responsibly and ethically. Our tiered APC model is designed to ensure fairness while supporting journal operations.
A Platform for the Future
As the global research community continues to shift toward open science and transparency, JRID remains at the forefront by upholding open access principles and ensuring a free flow of scholarly information. We welcome contributions from across disciplines, and we are proud to be a platform where innovation meets accessibility.
Together, we are building a more inclusive and informed future—one open article at a time.
