Paper Prints Policy

International Journal of Social Sciences and Management Research (IJSSMR) ensures the accessibility, sustainability, and ethical standards in the publication of printed versions of articles. The following guidelines outline our policy regarding printed copies of the journal.

  1. Print Publication Availability:
    IJSSMR is primarily an open-access, digital-only journal, and as such, it does not produce printed copies for general distribution. All published articles are freely available online via the journal’s website.

  2. Printed Copies on Request:
    Printed copies of the journal may be produced upon request, subject to the following conditions:

    • Requests for printed copies must be made in writing or through the official journal contact channels.

    • The requester must cover any associated printing and shipping costs.

    • Printed copies will only be provided for the most recent issues or special editions. Back issues may be printed if requested in sufficient quantity.

  3. Print Order Procedure:
    Authors, institutions, or readers who wish to obtain printed copies should:

    • Submit a formal request via email or the journal’s contact form.

    • Specify the issue or article(s) for which print copies are needed.

    • Provide the necessary billing and shipping details for processing the order.

  4. Environmental Considerations:
    The journal encourages digital consumption of articles to minimize paper waste and environmental impact. Authors and readers are encouraged to use digital formats wherever possible.

  5. Limited Availability of Print Versions:
    Due to environmental and cost considerations, printed copies will be produced in limited quantities. Priority will be given to requests from authors, academic institutions, and organizations with educational or research purposes.

  6. Price and Payment for Printed Copies:
    The cost for printing will vary depending on the number of copies requested and shipping distance. The journal will provide a cost estimate upon request. Payment for printed copies must be made in advance via secure payment channels before the order is processed.

  7. Archiving and Distribution of Print Copies:
    As part of the journal’s commitment to preserving academic research, print copies of each issue will be archived in selected academic libraries or repositories where physical copies may be required.
