Open Access Policy

HAF provides immediate open access to its content, also to users not registered in its platform, on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Furthermore, HAF allows and encourages authors to deposit their accepted manuscripts, in the post-print format, in their Open-Access institutional archives or repositories. The primary benefit of post-print self-archiving is reaching a larger audience which enhances the visibility and impact of your research.
