Open Access policy

General and free access to up-to-date knowledge is one of the cornerstones of the functioning and development of a democratic society. The concept of open access refers to making publicly funded scientific publications and research results available in digital form on the Internet for use by researchers, students, businesses, and society at large, free of charge.

Open access to scientific publications and open science are gaining increasing importance in the context of science policy worldwide. Open access (open mandate) policies have been adopted by many universities, research institutions, and research funders.

The editorial team of "State and Local Government Budget Law" has been consistently implementing the open access policy in its activities.
