Open Access Policy

Tepak Sirih: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Madani provides free and immediate online access to the full text of its published articles. Access is available to readers worldwide without subscription, mandatory registration, login, or payment.

Reader Access Conditions

Account registration may be required for activities such as manuscript submission or participation in editorial workflows. These requirements do not apply to reading or downloading published articles.

Access Charges and Author Fees

The journal does not charge readers or their institutions for access to published articles. Any Article Processing Charge applicable to authors is separate from reader access and does not create a paywall for published content. Author fees are explained in the journal's Article Processing Charges (APC) policy.

Open Access Principles

The journal's open-access approach promotes the dissemination, discoverability, accessibility, and responsible reuse of community service work. Open access does not remove the obligation to acknowledge authors and sources: users must respect the applicable license and identify changes where required.

The journal supports the broad dissemination of scholarly and community-oriented knowledge through the public internet, reflecting the objectives expressed in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).

License and Reuse

Articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0), unless otherwise indicated. This license permits sharing and adaptation, including for commercial purposes, subject to its conditions:

• Attribution: give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate whether changes were made;
• ShareAlike: distribute adaptations under CC BY-SA 4.0 or a compatible license;
• No additional restrictions: do not impose legal terms or technological measures that restrict the rights granted by the license.

The detailed terms are explained in the journal's Copyright and License Policy.

Copyright and Self-Archiving

Authors retain copyright in their published work and grant the journal the right of first publication. Authors may deposit the submitted manuscript, the accepted manuscript, and the published Version of Record in repositories or on personal academic websites without a journal-imposed embargo; the full conditions are set out in the journal's Archiving Policy.
