The Annals of Computer Science and Intelligence Systems (ACSIS) is a fully open-access, peer-reviewed, and multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the free and global dissemination of scientific knowledge.
ACSIS strongly supports the principles of open science and ensures that all published content is immediately, permanently, and freely accessible to everyone, without subscription barriers or access fees.
1. Commitment to Open Access
ACSIS believes that open access accelerates the advancement of knowledge, encourages innovation, and increases the visibility and impact of research.
All articles published in ACSIS are:
- Freely available online to read, download, copy, distribute, and share from the moment of publication.
- Published under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), allowing unrestricted reuse with proper citation of the original work.
- Accessible without any embargo period or registration requirement.
This policy aligns with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of open access, promoting free exchange of knowledge across disciplines and borders.
2. Copyright and Licensing
Authors publishing with ACSIS retain full copyright of their work.
By submitting and publishing an article, authors agree to make their work available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits:
- Sharing — copying and redistributing the material in any medium or format.
- Adapting — remixing, transforming, and building upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.
Provided that appropriate credit is given to the original authors and source, a link to the license is included, and any changes made are indicated.
3. Article Processing Charges (APCs)
To sustain open-access publication, ACSIS may charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover editorial management, peer review, indexing, and digital archiving costs.
However:
- There are no submission fees or hidden charges.
- APC waivers or discounts may be available for authors from developing countries or in cases of financial hardship.
- All fee information is transparently listed on the journal’s website.
This ensures that cost does not become a barrier to publishing quality research.
4. Archiving and Preservation
ACSIS ensures long-term digital preservation and accessibility of all published content through multiple archiving systems.
The journal maintains:
- Permanent digital identifiers (DOIs) for each article via CrossRef.
- Inclusion in reputable indexing and abstracting databases.
- Secure digital archiving in institutional repositories and open-access archives.
Even if the journal ceases operation, all published papers will remain freely available to the public.
5. Reuse and Distribution Rights
Readers, researchers, and institutions are encouraged to:
- Download, link, and distribute published articles without restriction.
- Use content for educational, academic, or non-commercial purposes with proper attribution.
- Include ACSIS articles in course materials, repositories, and scholarly databases.
No permission is required from the publisher or the authors as long as usage complies with the CC BY 4.0 license terms.
6. Benefits of Open Access Publishing in ACSIS
Publishing with ACSIS offers numerous advantages:
- Global Visibility — Research is accessible to scholars, professionals, and students worldwide.
- Higher Impact — Open-access articles receive more citations and downloads.
- Rapid Dissemination — Immediate availability of articles accelerates knowledge transfer.
- Academic Recognition — Ensures proper credit for authors through permanent DOIs and indexing.
7. Compliance with Funding Agencies
ACSIS’s open-access policy is compliant with the requirements of major funding agencies and research institutions, including those mandating open dissemination of funded research results.
Authors can deposit their published articles in institutional or subject repositories without restrictions.
