OPEN ACCESS POLICY
The Journal of Precision Medicine and Health Research (JPMHR) is committed to immediate, free, and unrestricted access to scholarly research. All articles published in JPMHR are made available online immediately upon publication, with no embargo period. This open access approach supports timely dissemination of evidence, strengthens transparency and reproducibility, and maximizes the reach and impact of research across precision and personalized healthcare. JPMHR follows an open access model aligned with widely recognized open access principles. Users may access and use journal content for any lawful purpose, including reading, downloading, copying, distributing, printing, searching within the text, and linking to the full text of articles, without financial, legal, or technical barriers and without requesting prior permission from the publisher or authors, provided that appropriate attribution to the original work is maintained.
Licensing
All articles published in JPMHR are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license permits others to share the work in any medium or format and to adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, including commercial use, provided that proper credit is given to the authors and the journal source, a link to the license is included, and any changes made are indicated.
Access and Charges
Readers have free access to all JPMHR content. No registration is required to view published articles, and article downloads are available without charge. The journal does not levy subscription fees on readers or institutions.
JPMHR operates on an open access publishing model supported through an Article Processing Charge (APC) applied only after acceptance. The APC is PKR 25,000 (or the equivalent in USD) and becomes payable once a manuscript has successfully completed the editorial and peer review processes and a formal acceptance decision has been issued. Additional details, including administrative procedures and fee-related clarifications (where applicable), are provided in the APC Policy.
Copyright
Authors retain full copyright in their published work in JPMHR. By publishing in the journal, authors grant JPMHR a non-exclusive right to publish, reproduce, and disseminate the article online and through indexing and archiving systems under the CC BY 4.0 license terms. Authors retain the freedom to reuse and share their work in accordance with the same license conditions.
Archiving and Availability
JPMHR is committed to ensuring permanent access to all published content. Long-term digital preservation is ensured through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), which supports ongoing availability of published articles over time. Further details regarding preservation arrangements and continuity of access are provided in the journal’s Archiving Policy.
Compliance with Funders
This open access policy is intended to remain compatible with common funder and institutional open access requirements. Where specific funder-mandated conditions apply, authors are encouraged to review the journal’s licensing and archiving provisions to ensure that deposit, reuse, and attribution requirements are satisfied under the CC BY 4.0 framework.
