Open Access:

Network Security is committed to promoting the widest possible dissemination of research and supporting the open access (OA) movement.

OA refers to the practice of providing free and unrestricted access to research outputs, such as journal articles, conference papers, datasets, and other scholarly works, without requiring a subscription or payment. All articles published under Open Access are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), provides a permanent link to the article, facilitating easy access and citation by researchers globally. 

Network Security is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose. Open Access increases the visibility and accessibility of research, often leading to higher citation rates and broader dissemination across disciplines.

 

Article Publishing Charge（FREE）：

To provide open access, journals typically charge an Article Publishing Charge (APC), which is usually covered by the authors, their institutions, or funders. This ensures that your article is immediately and permanently available for everyone to access. The APC covers costs associated with production, peer review, and open-access publication.

Network Security is committed to encouraging scientists to publish high-quality research and to facilitating the exchange of scholarly information. We are currently implementing an APC-free policy. This means your research will receive wide exposure and quality publication services at no cost. We welcome your contributions at any time.
