Senarai: Journal of Islamic Heritage and Civilization is a fully open access scholarly journal committed to the unrestricted dissemination of knowledge without financial, legal, or technical barriers. All peer-reviewed articles, editorial content, and supplementary materials published in Senarai are made freely, immediately, and permanently accessible to authors, readers, researchers, institutions, and the public upon publication. The journal does not apply subscription fees, paywalls, mandatory registration, or embargo periods. This policy reflects the journal’s core principle that scholarly knowledge—particularly within Islamic heritage, civilization studies, humanities, and social sciences—constitutes a shared intellectual resource that must remain accessible irrespective of geographic, institutional, or economic constraints.

Consistent with the principles articulated in the Budapest Open Access Initiative, Senarai understands open access as the free availability of scholarly literature on the public internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to, or index the full text of articles, as well as to use the content for any other lawful purpose. These rights are granted universally and irrevocably, without the need for prior permission, provided that the integrity of the work is preserved and appropriate credit is given to the original source.

Open access within Senarai is applied as an integral part of editorial governance, grounded in ethical publishing practice, transparency, and academic responsibility. The journal views openness as essential to enhancing research visibility, supporting interdisciplinary and cross-cultural scholarly exchange, and ensuring equitable participation in the production and circulation of knowledge. To preserve the integrity and long-term availability of its publications, the journal maintains stable digital platforms, reliable archiving arrangements, and the use of persistent identifiers.

The journal clearly communicates its access model, copyright arrangements, licensing terms, and user reuse rights through its official publication platform. No delayed access, selective availability, or undisclosed restrictions are applied. All published articles are distributed under a clearly stated open license to ensure legal certainty, transparency, and protection of both authorial integrity and user rights.
