Who Owns our Knowledge?
2025-10-21
This week (20-26 October) is International Open Access Week.
This year’s theme asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognised and valued.
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.
Authors retain copyright and articles are openly licenced via Creative Commons to make published articles more readily available and useable.
The Journal is categorised as a ‘Diamond’ Open Access journal. Diamond Open Access (OA) refers to a scholarly publication model in which journals and platforms do not charge fees to either authors or readers.
