Open Access Statement

KHD Production is committed to ensuring the sustainability of our high-quality editorial, peer-review, and production processes while maximizing the global discoverability of our academic authors' work. To achieve this balance, we operate under a traditional academic publishing model combined with an open-preview policy.

1. Open Preview and Metadata Discoverability

To support the global academic community, facilitate citation tracking, and comply with international indexing standards (such as Scopus and Crossref), KHD Production provides free and unrestricted online access to essential portions of every published academic monograph and edited volume.

Without any subscription or payment, readers worldwide can freely access and download:

  • Front Matter: Title page, Copyright page (Imprint), Table of Contents, Foreword, and Preface.

  • Chapter 1 / Introduction: The complete first chapter to provide clear context and the theoretical framework of the book.

  • Full Reference List / Bibliography: The complete list of references from the entire book to ensure transparent citation tracking and academic linking.

  • Complete Metadata: Abstract, Author biographies, Keywords, and DOI links.

2. Full-Text Access and Purchasing

The complete, full-text versions of our academic books (Chapter 2 onwards) are available for purchase.

  • Individual and Institutional Access: Readers, researchers, and academic libraries can purchase the complete eBook (PDF/EPUB) or physical printed copies directly through our official website or authorized international distributors.

  • For purchasing inquiries, bulk orders, or institutional subscriptions, please visit our catalog or contact our sales department at admin@khdproduction.com.

3. Copyright and Intellectual Property

Under this publishing model, authors retain the intellectual property of their original ideas. However, authors grant KHD Production the exclusive commercial publishing and distribution rights for the final "Version of Record."

  • The purchased full-text materials are protected by international copyright laws.

  • Unauthorized redistribution, hosting the full-text PDF on public repositories, or commercial resale of the locked chapters without explicit permission from KHD Production is strictly prohibited.

4. Author Self-Archiving (Green Open Access)

While the final formatted eBook is subject to purchase, KHD Production supports "Green Open Access" principles.

  • Authors are permitted to self-archive their Accepted Manuscript (the peer-reviewed text before publisher formatting) on their personal websites or secure institutional repositories after a standard embargo period of 12 months.

  • Authors are heavily encouraged to share the "Open Preview" file (Front Matter, Chapter 1, and References) on academic networks (e.g., ResearchGate, Academia.edu) immediately upon publication.
