The Journal of Intellectual Disabilities and Offending Behaviour is committed to promoting global access to high-quality research. All articles published in the journal are fully Open Access under a Creative Commons License (CC BY 4.0), ensuring that the content is freely and permanently available online for readers worldwide.

Authors retain the copyright to their work while granting the journal permission to publish the article and make it openly accessible.

To support the costs of publication, the journal applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 1500 for accepted articles. This fee covers the editorial processes, peer review, production, hosting, and dissemination of the articles.

There are no submission fees, and payment is only required after an article has been accepted for publication.

Benefits of Open Access:

• Wider Reach: Articles are accessible to a global audience, increasing visibility and impact.
• Immediate Access: Content is freely available online upon publication.
• Author Retention: Authors retain full copyright under a Creative Commons License.
• Increased Citations: Open access research often benefits from higher citation rates.
