Open Access

The Annals of Tropical Research (ATR) applies the Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND license (starting 2024), which allows users to copy and distribute an article in any medium or format in unmodified and unadapted form only for noncommercial purposes, provided that the article is properly cited. Authors provide ATR with a license to publish the article and recognize itself as the original publisher.

All articles published at ATR are accessible to all users and the institutions they represent at no cost. Users can access full content and utilize it for any legitimate purpose without requiring prior approval from the author or publisher. The open access policy of ATR aligns with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).

Authors publishing with ATR retain copyright control over their research work, allowing them the rights to reuse, distribute, and post in repositories. They can also share their published articles in public repositories, libraries, or websites.

Article Publishing Charges

The Visayas State University (VSU) gratuitously established ATR as a venue for sharing of quality research-based technologies and innovations without cost to researchers. ATR is fully funded by VSU, thus it does not charge any article processing/publishing fees.
