The Journal of Human and Clinical Genetics publishes all articles under an open-access model, ensuring immediate and permanent free access to peer-reviewed scientific literature. By adopting this model, the journal facilitates global electronic dissemination of high-quality research, fostering the unrestricted exchange of knowledge and ideas across scientific disciplines.

Through our open-access platform, researchers, educators, students, and other knowledge seekers gain the right to freely copy, use, distribute, transmit, and publicly display the work, as well as create and distribute derivative works in any digital medium. This is permitted for any responsible purpose, provided proper attribution is given to the authors and original work.

Adherence to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI):
The journal aligns with the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, defining "open access" as:

  • Free availability of scientific literature on the public internet, enabling users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to full-text articles.
  • The ability to use these articles for lawful purposes such as indexing, data processing, and software applications without financial, legal, or technical barriers, apart from those inherent to internet access.
  • Ensuring authors retain control over the integrity of their work and are properly acknowledged through citation.

Commitment to Open Science
The journal is committed to advancing the open exchange of scientific knowledge, empowering researchers and the public to access cutting-edge information without restrictions. Our publication policies are carefully designed to balance the free dissemination of research with the rigorous standards of peer review.

By adhering to these principles, the Journal of Human and Clinical Genetics ensures the sustainability of an open-access system that supports transparency, collaboration, and the equitable distribution of scientific advancements for the benefit of the global community.
