In accordance with major definitions of Open Access in scientific literature (namely the Budapest, Berlin, and Bethesda declarations), the full-text of all articles published in JECACM are freely open to the public, without any limitation. This means:
⋄ Everyone has free and unlimited access to the full-text of all articles published in this journal, with no need to subscribe or pay.

Open access publication is supported by the authors' institutes or research funding agencies by payment of a comparatively low charge for accepted articles. Currently, articles published in JECACM are exempted from Article Processing Charge (APC), and freely available to the wider scope of readers.
⋄ Authors can retain copyright of their own articles. This would be warranted with the application of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0 ) license.

⋄ Articles possess high availability and visibility. This is guaranteed through the free and unlimited accessibility of the publication over the Internet. Readers do not need to pay any subscription or pay-per-view charges to read the articles, and can freely access and download the full text, which may result more citations and more likely to be included in search engines and indexing databases.
⋄ Citation tracking and inclusion in Bibliographic databases are available. Open access journals, similar to traditional journals, are deposited into bibliographic databases and institutional repositories in the absence of any embargo period. No more registration or subscription is required when getting access to the full text of articles published in JECACM. This further enables fully index for frequently used search engines. And open access mandates from funding sources or academic institutions can be adhered in the fastest and easiest manner.
⋄ High quality of publications is maintained through rigorous peer review process. Analogous to traditional publications, open access publications are subject to the same peer review, production and publishing procedures.
⋄ Online submission and production process is simplified and user-friendly. This allows prompt review, approval and publication.
⋄ There is no extra restrictions on the publishing space. Supplementary materials (e.g., figures, extensive data and video footage) can be submitted online.
The emolument of staffs and editors in JECACM are determined by their contracts with publisher, rather than the amount or length of accepted articles. We encourage high-quality publication of long papers with complete results and full experimental or computational details.
