1. Policy Statement

Jurnal Ilmu Perilaku (JIP) is committed to promoting the dissemination, accessibility, visibility, and responsible reuse of scholarly research in psychology and behavioral sciences through open access publishing.

The journal provides immediate open access to its published scholarly content on the principle that making research freely available supports the global exchange of knowledge and advances scientific understanding.

Jurnal Ilmu Perilaku recognizes that open access publishing contributes to the accessibility of research for scholars, practitioners, educators, students, policymakers, and the wider public.

The journal does not impose an embargo period before making its published articles available to readers.

Open access supports the timely dissemination of research findings and facilitates scholarly communication across institutional and geographic boundaries.
