Open Access Policy

The Journal of Electrochemical Science and Hydrogen Technology (JESHT) is committed to providing immediate and unrestricted access to published research. The journal follows an Open Access publishing model, allowing readers to access, read, download, copy, share, and use published articles in accordance with the license applied to each article.

All published articles are freely available online immediately after publication without subscription or access charges for readers.
