Open Access Policy

♦ Diamond Open Access

The KURAB Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Social Sciences (KJIRSS) operates a Diamond Open Access Policy.

All published articles are made freely accessible online without subscription barriers.

We believe that removing financial barriers to research is essential for the global advancement of the social sciences. We invite scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers to explore our multidisciplinary content.
