Open Access Policy
Holistic Economics supports global knowledge exchange by providing immediate open access to all published content. By removing access barriers, the journal aims to make research freely available to everyone while ensuring higher visibility and citation potential for authors.
Diamond Open Access Model (No Fees)
As of March 1, 2026, Holistic Economics operates under a Diamond Open Access model. We believe that financial barriers should not impede the dissemination of high-quality academic research. Therefore:
- No Article Processing Charges (APCs): Authors are not charged any fees for publication.
- No Submission Fees: There are no costs associated with manuscript submission or editorial review.
- No Hidden Costs: All editorial, peer-review, and publishing services are provided free of charge to authors and their institutions.
