SWP is an internationally based open-access publisher of journals covering a broad range of academic disciplines and provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that makes research freely available to the public.
Expanding on SWP operations of top-quality journals, we have served the academic community since 2013 by giving authors the option to publish their work as Open Access which allows free distribution of and access to published articles. The author retains copyright of their work under the Creative Commons attribution licence, so all articles are made freely available to the widest audience possible.
Benefits are;
· Articles published are freely accessible to read, copy, distribute and use, thus maximizing the visibility of research publications provided the terms of the Open Access license below are followed.
· Publications are included in abstracting and indexing databases to make them easy to find and cite.
· Articles undergo peer review and are held to the highest scientific publishing standards.
· Author retains copyright.
