Open Access Policy

Open Access Policy

Review of Economics and Finance is a fully Open Access journal, committed to making high-quality economics and finance research freely available to a global audience without financial, legal, or technical barriers.


What Open Access Means

Open Access is a publishing model that makes scholarly research freely available to anyone with an internet connection, without subscription fees, paywalls, or registration requirements. This model accelerates the dissemination of knowledge, increases the visibility and citation impact of published work, and supports researchers, students, and practitioners across the world — regardless of their institution’s access to paid journal subscriptions.

Our Commitment

All articles published in Review of Economics and Finance — including abstracts, full texts, and PDFs — are made freely and permanently accessible to readers immediately upon publication, with no embargo period. Readers may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of every article without seeking prior permission from the publisher or the author, subject to the terms of the applicable Creative Commons license (see our Copyright Policy).

Benefits of Open Access Publishing

  • Wider readership: Articles are accessible to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide, including those in institutions without journal subscriptions.
  • Increased citations: Open Access articles are shown to receive greater visibility and higher citation rates compared to subscription-based content.
  • Faster knowledge exchange: Immediate availability upon publication accelerates the pace of academic discourse and follow-up research.
  • Author retains rights: Authors retain copyright of their work and can freely share, reuse, and archive their published articles.

No Barriers to Access

There are no subscription charges, pay-per-view fees, or registration requirements to read or download articles published in this journal. The journal is indexed and archived to ensure long-term accessibility of the scholarly record.
