Open Access Policy

Osteology and Rheumatology (OROJ) is committed to the principle that research on bone and rheumatic disease should be freely and immediately accessible to the widest possible audience — rheumatologists, orthopedic clinicians, researchers, and patients alike.

Immediate Open Access

All articles published in OROJ are made freely available online immediately upon publication, with no subscription, registration, or paywall restricting access, and no embargo period (see Publisher Policies).

No Access Barriers

Readers do not need to create an account, pay a fee, or obtain permission to read, download, or share published OROJ articles — important given that clinicians managing complex or rare rheumatic presentations, such as the case reports this journal regularly publishes, may need rapid access to relevant clinical guidance.

Licensing

All open-access content is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), allowing readers to copy, distribute, and build upon the published work, provided appropriate credit is given (see Copyright & Licensing).

Alignment with International Open Access Standards

OROJ's open access model is consistent with the principles set out in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).

Article Processing

Details on the journal's Article Processing Charges and available fee waivers apply consistently across the Openventio journal network.
