There is a range of Journal material that you can access online for free. All our journals publish abstracts summarizing each article - these abstracts are freely available online in addition to the complete articles in PDF. All issues of our journals are made available once they are published, and all papers are available through open access.

One key request of researchers across the world is unrestricted access to research publications.

Pertanika gives a worldwide audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal and thus increases the visibility and impact of published works as it is fully committed to the Open Access Initiative and will provide free access to all articles as soon as they are published.

Under the Journal's open access initiative, authors can choose to download free material (via PDF link) from any of the journal issues from Pertanika's website. Under "Browse Journals" you will see a link entitled "Current Issues" or "Archives". Here you will get access to all back-issues from 1978 onwards.

The corresponding author for all articles will receive one complimentary hardcopy of the journal in which his/her articles is published. In addition, 20 off prints of the full text of their article will also be provided. Additional copies of the journals may be purchased by writing to the executive editor.
