This section outlines the journal's commitment to the unrestricted dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Access Statement: IJORTAS affirms that all published articles are made available immediately and free of charge globally. Readers are never subjected to subscription fees or paywalls, allowing knowledge to be free to discover, read, and build upon.

Public Impact: This open framework directly supports and accelerates global innovation within the fields of technology and applied sciences by removing financial barriers to collaborative knowledge and serving the wider scientific communities.

This core component of the business model demonstrates how operational costs are met legally, transparently, and ethically.

Article Processing Charges (APCs): To sustain open-access operations, publication costs are covered by authors or their funding institutions via a one-time APC of USD 100.00. This fee is billed exclusively after the manuscript is officially accepted following rigorous peer review.

Free Submission Policy: IJORTAS does not impose any submission or review charges. Authors face no financial risks during the initial stages, as they only contribute if their manuscript successfully passes evaluation.

Publisher Institutional Support: The Lamintang Education and Training (LET) Centre, as the parent organization, provides full backing and additional financial or infrastructural subsidies to cover potential operational deficits.

Designed to ensure inclusivity and scientific equity at an international level.

Limited Economy Discount: Authors originating from countries classified as low or lower-middle-income by the World Bank qualify for a structured 10% discount on the standard APC, accessible through the journal's official submission portal.

Special Waivers: Aligned with our commitment to global academic equity, a reduced flat APC rate of USD 75.00 is systematically granted to authors from 50 designated developing nations to guarantee financial constraints do not act as barriers to scholarly contribution.

Full transparency regarding how author-contributed APC funds are utilized to maintain high academic standards.

• Digital Infrastructure: Allocation towards secure web hosting platforms, active Crossref institutional memberships, and the permanent assignment of individual Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).
• Editorial Management: Processing editorial evaluation cycles, procurement of text anti-plagiarism screening software (Turnitin), thorough copyediting, academic typesetting, and comprehensive grammar checking.
• Long-Term Archiving: Dedicated resources for integration with global digital preservation systems to secure the permanent online availability of all items indefinitely.

Defining article ownership and distribution parameters post-publication.

CC BY-SA 4.0 License: All accepted articles are issued under this open-access framework. Authors fully retain their original copyright, while granting the public the right to download, read, share, and adapt the work for any purpose, provided appropriate attribution is maintained and any modified derivative work is distributed under the same identical license terms (ShareAlike).

Upholding strict ethical publication boundaries to eliminate commercial bias.

IJORTAS maintains a definitive stance against displaying commercial product advertisements or hosting corporate sponsors on its website. This safeguards complete editorial independence and guarantees that the peer-review process remains entirely free from financial conflicts of interest or external market pressures.
