Open access policy
Open access to publications
The journal provides open access to published materials. Full texts are available to users without a subscription or registration.
This approach is intended to widen access to research results, increase the visibility of publications, and support the free circulation of scholarly information.
Access without embargo
The electronic version of a published article is made openly available after the issue is published, with no embargo period.
Terms of use
Journal materials are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.
Users may read, store, copy, distribute, adapt, and use published materials provided that authorship and the source of publication are properly acknowledged.
Self-archiving
Authors may deposit the published version in institutional and subject repositories, personal scholarly profiles, and other resources, provided the license terms are observed.
When depositing, authors are encouraged to include a full bibliographic citation of the journal publication and the article DOI once assigned.
Metadata availability
Bibliographic information is published together with the full text. After DOI registration, publication metadata may be used to identify and cite the article in the scholarly information environment.
Attribution
Open access does not remove authorship and does not permit use without attribution. Any reuse must identify the authors, article title, journal, and source of publication.
Purpose of the policy
The open-access policy supports wider dissemination of research in obstetrics, gynecology, perinatology, and related medical fields, and their use in scholarly, educational, and clinical practice.
