Celebrating Open Access: The Cost of Knowledge
2026-10-19
This week (19-25 October) is International Open Access Week.
Increasing consolidation and commercial control over all aspects of knowledge comes at a cost. This year’s theme challenges us to consider the financial, human, and environmental costs of creating, sharing, and sustaining knowledge—particularly when these costs are driven by private rather than public interests.
The International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy (IJCJSD) is an open access, peer reviewed journal that seeks to publish critical research about common challenges confronting criminal justice systems around the world. IJCJSD remains committed to making criminology research and scholarship accessible to all, without paywalls and via best practice in open access practices.
The Journal publishes four issues annually and is supported by a small editorial team advised by an international editorial board. The Journal is hosted in the School of Justice, QUT and is part of a small collection of Diamond open access journals in QUT Open Press.
