Cellular & Molecular Intelligence (CMI) operates under a fully open-access publishing model. All articles published in the journal are made immediately and unrestrictedly available to readers worldwide.

At present, no article processing charges (APCs) are required for publication in CMI.

The open-access model supports the broad dissemination of scholarly research by allowing published articles to be freely accessible to the academic community, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the wider public. This model promotes equitable access to scientific knowledge and removes financial barriers for readers.

Open access also enhances the visibility and potential impact of published research by enabling articles to be read, shared, and cited more widely than content restricted by subscription access.

Open access provides several benefits for authors, readers, and the scientific community, including:

• Increased accessibility: Articles are freely available to anyone with an internet connection.

• Greater visibility and impact: Open-access articles are typically read and cited more frequently than articles behind subscription paywalls.

• Compliance with funding requirements: Many funding agencies require open-access publication, and compliance may influence future funding opportunities.

Key aspects of the journal’s open-access policy include:

• Immediate and unrestricted access to all published articles.

• Publication under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, enabling broad reuse with proper attribution.

• Promotion of equitable access to scientific knowledge regardless of institutional or financial constraints.
