Open Access Statement

Open Access Policy

INTEGRATED (Journal of Information Technology and Vocational Education) is firmly committed to the principles of Open Science. We provide immediate, free, and permanent online access to all published articles. This means that any user with an internet connection can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of our articles without any financial, legal, or technical barriers, provided that proper credit is given to the original author(s) and the journal.

Operating under a Diamond Open Access model, INTEGRATED is fully funded by institutional support. This allows us to offer completely unrestricted access to readers while ensuring that authors are not burdened with any Article Processing Charges (Free APC).
