Paper Prints Policy

Scientific Thought is a fully digital open-access journal. We focus on providing immediate, unrestricted online access to our articles. However, we understand the importance of printed versions for some researchers and institutions. Below are the details regarding our paper print policy:

• Digital-Only Publication:
  The journal is primarily published in a digital format to ensure fast and easy access for researchers worldwide. All articles are made available online immediately upon publication.

• Print Requests:
  While Scientific Thought does not routinely produce physical copies of the journal, authors, institutions, and libraries may request printed versions of individual articles or specific issues. These print copies can be ordered through our publishing partner or by direct request to the journal's editorial office.

• Printing Costs:
  Print copies are made available at a cost to cover production and shipping expenses. Authors or institutions requesting print copies will be informed of the associated costs, including any shipping or handling fees.

• Copyright and Distribution:
  Authors retain copyright of their work as per our open access policy, and print versions are provided under the same Creative Commons license as the digital versions. Physical copies of articles are for personal or institutional use and cannot be redistributed without permission.

• No Regular Print Editions:
  The journal will not publish regular physical editions. The print option is only available upon request and for specific use cases, such as academic or institutional archives, or for personal collections.

• Sustainability Considerations:
  In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we encourage the use of digital versions whenever possible to reduce the environmental impact associated with printing.
