Open Access Policy

Contemporary Innovations Journal (CIJ) is fully committed to open access publishing. All articles published in CIJ journals are immediately and permanently free for everyone to read, download, copy, and distribute.

Our Open Access Model

CIJ operates under the Gold Open Access model. All content is published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence, which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

No Subscription Barriers

Readers are never required to register, subscribe, or pay any fee to access full-text articles. CIJ does not operate any embargo period.

Long-term Preservation

To ensure permanent availability, all published articles are deposited with OAI-PMH-compliant harvesters and indexed in major databases including Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, and Dimensions.
