Celebrating Open Access and Open Knowledge

2024-10-21

This week (21-27 October) is Open Access Week - an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems. This year’s theme is 'Community over Commercialisation' which prioritises approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public and the academic community.

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 open access journals in QUT Open Press.
