Adherence to Open Access Principles

The Journal of Construction Project Management and Innovation (JCPMI) firmly upholds the principles of Open Access as a conduit for the unrestricted exchange of knowledge in the sciences and humanities. Our commitment aligns with the tenets of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, and the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
