Public Administration" provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Full-text access to scientific articles of the journal is presented on the official website in the Archives section.

This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access. The licensing policy is compatible with the overwhelming majority of open access and archiving policies.

Long-term preservation is ensured through regular data backup, use of stable digital formats, and implementation of data protection measures.

Copyright and Licensing Policy

All articles published in the journal are distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

This license permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided that proper attribution is given to the original author(s) and the source, and any changes are indicated.

Authors retain copyright of their work while granting the journal the right of first publication.

Open Research Data and FAIR Principles

The journal supports open science practices and encourages authors to enhance the transparency and reproducibility of their research by providing access to underlying research data.

Where appropriate and not restricted by ethical or legal considerations, authors are encouraged to deposit datasets in institutional, national, or international research data repositories. Data should comply with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), ensuring proper identification, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability.

When datasets are available, authors should provide information about their location in the manuscript and metadata, including a persistent identifier (such as a DOI or another stable link). This contributes to research transparency, verifiability, and integration into the global scientific environment.

The availability of open data is considered a positive factor during manuscript evaluation; however, requirements for data sharing are applied with regard to the nature and specifics of the research.
