Open Access Policy
The International Journal of History and Atlas Education (IJHAE) is committed to the principle that scholarly research should be freely accessible to everyone. As a fully open-access, peer-reviewed journal, we ensure that all published articles are available online immediately after publication without requiring readers to pay subscription fees or registration charges. Our open-access policy promotes the unrestricted exchange of academic knowledge and helps research reach a wider global audience.
We feel that if research can be made freely available, this is good for the authors, for the researcher, for the educator, for the student, for the policymaker, and for institutions, to enable them to collaborate, innovate, and advance the knowledge of history, geography, atlas education, and related fields.

Our Commitment
