Open Access Statement

Immediate Open Access

Problems of Modern Law is a fully open-access journal. Every article is freely available from the moment of publication. There is no subscription, no paywall, no registration requirement, and no embargo period of any kind.

Definition Applied

The journal adopts the definition of open access set out in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI): free availability on the public internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full texts, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, is to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

Licence

All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence (CC BY 4.0), the full text of which is available at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Under this licence any user may:

• Share — copy and redistribute the article in any medium or format;
• Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material;
• do so for any purpose, including commercial use;

provided that appropriate credit is given to the authors and the journal, a link to the licence is supplied, and any changes made are indicated. The licensor may not revoke these freedoms so long as the licence terms are followed.

Copyright

Authors retain copyright in their work. Publication in PML does not transfer ownership to the journal or to either founder. Authors grant the journal the right of first publication and the non-exclusive right to distribute, archive, and deposit the article with indexing and preservation services under the terms of the CC BY 4.0 licence.

Self-Archiving

Authors may deposit any version of their manuscript — submitted, accepted, or published — in any repository, including institutional repositories, subject repositories, preprint servers, academic social networks, and personal or departmental websites, at any time and with no embargo. Authors are asked to include the full bibliographic citation and the article's DOI in any deposited version so that readers can locate the version of record.

Reader Costs

Readers are never charged for access to any part of the journal's content, and no part of the journal is placed behind a subscription or pay-per-view barrier at any point in the future.
