Open access and reference metadata
Business Perspectives shares the scientific community aspirations to ensure rapid and full access to scholarly results.
“By "open access" to this [research] literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution and the only role for copyright in this domain should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.” The Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002.
That is why, most journals published by Business Perspectives are open access ones. All others are hybrid journals supporting the open access policy and publishing open access articles.
We are in favor of liberal self-archiving policy for authors, which promotes the dissemination of new knowledge and scholarly results.
We also believe that citation and the availability of information on it to the wider scientific community are important for the scientific knowledge dissemination (under the Creative Commons licenses), and we work to make citation data structured, separable and open.
