Okut Okut Publishing embraces open access, non-commercial, scientific publishing. We share studies with our readers free of charge in e-book formats when they are considered appropriate for publication upon review processes and the decision of the editorial board.

Oku Okut Press, is pleased to announce its archive policy in line with its policy of supporting the dissemination of research results:

 

What is open access publishing?
Oku Okut Publishing is committed to gold open access, as it is practiced in the social sciences and the humanities. Gold OA is the free, immediate, and permanent online access to a publication’s version of record. All our books can be read online or downloaded as a free PDF. Our commitment to access also influences our pricing of the print edition and other digital editions. To protect our publications and the rights of our authors, we release all material under a Creative Commons license.

Does publishing in open access make my work vulnerable to misuse?
Oku Okut Publishing allows authors and editors to retain copyright of their work. We release all our publications under a Creative Commons license. Creative Commons has been involved in conversations surrounding the open movement since the very beginning. Their licenses are used to protect many open access materials. The majority of Oku Okut Publishing publications are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).

How much does it cost to publish an open access monograph?
Open access material is freely accessible but not free to produce. Oku Okut Publishing's publication process does not differ from other press. Therefore, the costs associated with publication are similar. Book typesetting and special cover design fee are charged from the author (90 USD). For a useful report on the average costs of producing a scholarly monograph, see the ITHAKA S+R Report on “The Costs of Publishing Monographs: Toward a Transparent Methodology.”
