Diamond Open Access Policy

The electronic peer-reviewed academic journal «Coordinates of Public Administration» adheres to the Diamond Open Access model, which provides for the free dissemination of scholarly materials without any financial burden on authors or readers. The journal does not charge any fees for manuscript submission, peer review, editorial processing, publication, or access to full-text articles.

All published materials become available immediately upon the official release of the issue on the journal’s website. Full-text access is provided without registration, subscription, or any other technical or financial restrictions. This approach promotes the open dissemination of research results, enhances their visibility and academic impact, and facilitates the integration of Ukrainian scholarship into the international research community.

Users are free to read, download, store, distribute, and use the journal’s materials for scientific, educational, and analytical purposes, provided that proper attribution of authorship, citation of the source, and compliance with copyright requirements are ensured.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

The journal does not impose any Article Processing Charges:

Article Processing Charges (APC) = 0.

Authors are not required to pay for:

– manuscript submission;

– initial editorial screening;

– peer review;

– scientific, literary, or technical editing;

– layout and formatting;

– publication;

– open-access dissemination of the article.

The journal does not apply any hidden fees, additional charges, or post-publication payments. The editorial and publishing process is funded through institutional support provided by the founder and other legitimate sources, which do not influence editorial independence, manuscript content, peer review outcomes, or publication decisions.

The absence of APC ensures equal opportunities for authors regardless of their institutional affiliation, country of origin, academic status, or financial capacity. This approach aligns with the principles of non-discrimination, open science, and ethical scholarly communication.

Compliance with International Standards

The journal’s open access policy is based on the principles of transparency, accessibility, academic integrity, editorial independence, and long-term preservation of scholarly outputs. It is aligned with contemporary approaches to open science, responsible academic publishing, and the free circulation of reliable scientific knowledge.

The implementation of this policy aims to support high-quality academic communication, strengthen the societal relevance of research in the field of public administration, and foster an open, inclusive, and ethically grounded scholarly environment.
