How to Publish With Us
Open Access Publishing
The Journal of Management and Accounting Research (JMAR) supports open access publishing to maximize the visibility, accessibility, and global impact of scholarly research. Under the open access model, accepted articles are made freely available online immediately upon publication, enabling researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public to access and share research without subscription barriers.
Open access publishing enhances the dissemination of knowledge and contributes to greater academic collaboration, citation impact, and practical relevance across management, accounting, finance, and related disciplines.
Benefits of Open Access
Publishing open access in JMAR offers several advantages to authors and the wider research community.
Increased Citation and Usage
Open access articles are generally viewed, downloaded, and cited more frequently than subscription-based articles. Greater accessibility improves the visibility and academic impact of published research.
Greater Public Engagement
Research published under open access is accessible to readers worldwide, including researchers from institutions with limited subscription access, independent scholars, industry professionals, policymakers, and practitioners.
Increased Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Open access supports collaboration across disciplines by making research findings widely discoverable and accessible to scholars from diverse academic and professional backgrounds.
Faster Research Impact
By enabling immediate access to research outputs, open access accelerates the dissemination and application of new theories, methodologies, and empirical findings.
Compliance with Funding Requirements
Many funding agencies, universities, and research institutions require publicly funded research to be published under open access models. JMAR supports compliance with such institutional and funding mandates.
Enhanced Research Visibility
Open access articles are more easily indexed, shared, and discovered through academic databases, search engines, institutional repositories, and professional networks.
Open Research and Data Sharing
JMAR encourages responsible research transparency and data-sharing practices. Authors are encouraged, where appropriate, to:
- Share supporting datasets and supplementary materials
- Provide data availability statements
- Deposit research data in recognized repositories
- Promote transparency and reproducibility in research
Open research practices strengthen research integrity and encourage future scholarly collaboration.
