Open Access Policy
JLTS believes that open access to research papers is consistent with the notion that scientific research must be accessible free of charge to scholars, educators, students, policy makers, and the global scholarly community at large.
Open access increases visibility, availability, and impact of educational research and stimulates international collaboration and exchange of knowledge.
As a result of elimination of subscription barriers, all high-quality research contributing to innovations in teaching and learning becomes accessible to readers around the world.
The journal is committed to ensuring the best standards of peer review, editorial work, and ethical publication.
All articles, irrespective of the form of publishing chosen, go through identical peer and editorial review; therefore, open access will not reduce their quality.
