Scientific Navigation is a fully open-access journal. All articles are freely available online immediately upon publication, without any subscription fees, paywalls, or registration barriers.
We believe that knowledge should be accessible to all. By removing financial and institutional restrictions, we aim to support the free exchange of ideas and foster global collaboration across disciplines.
What Open Access Means for Authors and Readers:
•    Authors retain copyright and publish under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0), allowing them to freely share and reuse their work with proper attribution.
•    Readers can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles without any restrictions.
•    There are no access delays or embargo periods.
Article Processing Charges (APC):
To support open access publishing, Scientific Navigation may charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted papers. However, for Volume 1, Issues 1 and 2 (2025), all APCs are waived as part of our launch phase initiative to encourage early submissions and support emerging scholars.
Future APC policy will be transparently published and updated on this page.
 Archiving and Accessibility
All published articles are digitally archived and preserved to ensure long-term accessibility. The journal supports self-archiving and green OA practices.
