Benefits of Open Access Publishing
Greater Visibility
OA articles are indexed by more databases and discovered more easily via search engines, increasing the reach of your research.
Higher Citation Impact
Studies consistently show that freely available articles attract more citations than subscription-access articles in comparable journals.
Equitable Access
Researchers and practitioners in low-resource settings, particularly in Indonesia and developing countries, can access your work without institutional subscriptions.
Funder Compliance
Many national and international research funders now mandate open access publication. CC BY 4.0 satisfies the requirements of most major funding bodies.
Faster Dissemination
Open access removes access barriers that delay the adoption of research findings by practitioners, clinicians, and policymakers who need them most.
Public Benefit
Research in ethnomedicine and medical wellness has direct implications for public health policy. Open access maximizes the societal impact of your work.
