As highlighted by the Power of Information Taskforce, this means it needs to be: * easy to find; * easy to licence; and * easy to re-use.

A Policy statement is available. Articles accepted for publication become the copyright of the journal, unless otherwise specifically agreed. All contributions should be original and should not be under consideration elsewhere. Authors should be aware that they are writing for an international audience and should use non-discriminatory language. All submissions to the journal are peer-refereed (anonymously) so they are published in accordance with international academic standards for research publication. For those who are refereeing articles on behalf of the journal a Referee Report form is available here."
