The Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Technology (JNAMT) is committed to the principles of open access to foster the global dissemination of engineering and maritime research. Our policy fully aligns with the guidelines established by the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).
Immediate Open Access
All content published in JNAMT is freely accessible immediately upon publication with no embargo period. This ensures rapid dissemination of naval architecture and marine technology research, enhancing visibility and impact for authors worldwide.
Rights and Permissions
In accordance with BOAI principles, open access means unrestricted availability via the public internet. Users are allowed to:
Read, download, and print full-text articles
Distribute and share content for educational and research purposes
Copy, search, link to, and index articles for academic work
Use published content as data for software tools and computational analyses, provided proper attribution is given to authors and the journal
Author Rights and Integrity
Authors retain full rights over the integrity of their work and must always receive appropriate attribution. Any use of the journal’s content must acknowledge the author(s), article title, journal name, and DOI or link to the original publication.
