Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego is an open access journal (Diamond Open Access). All content is freely available without charge or subscription. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author.

 

The Open Access model ensures that scholarly publications are available to all users free of charge and may be accessed at any place and time without technical restrictions. Recognizing the need to maintain the highest standards in research and to promote good practices in conducting and disseminating scholarly work, the John Paull II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), as the Publisher, has adopted the “Open Access Policy for Scientific Publications and Research Data of Employees, Doctoral Candidates, and Students of KUL” (Rector’s Ordinance of 30 October 2025). In accordance with this policy, journals published or co-published by the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin are recommended to publish in the Open Access model using open licenses, in particular Creative Commons, on the KUL Journals Platform (CzasKUL) or on a journal platform managed by a co-publisher. Responsibility for supporting the development and maintenance of the high academic standing of KUL’s publications, as well as for disseminating research results – particularly through Open Access – is entrusted to the Repository and Publishing Positioning Section at KUL University Press. The Section coordinates activities related to the creation, maintenance, and development of infrastructure supporting Open Access. It also promotes Open Access and provides guidance on best practices consistent with the Open Access policy.

 

Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego is indexed in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals published in line with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).
