Iranian Journal of Medical Microbiology

Open Access Statement

The Iranian Journal of Medical Microbiology (IJMM) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, ensuring that all published articles are freely and permanently available to readers worldwide immediately upon publication without subscription or access fees.

Open access in IJMM means that:

• Authors retain the copyright of their work and grant users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right to access, download, copy, distribute, and use the article for non‑commercial purposes, with proper attribution to the authors and the journal.

• A complete version of each published article and any supplementary materials is preserved in reliable digital formats to support long‑term access and reuse.

This open‑access policy follows internationally recognized principles for free dissemination of scientific knowledge (Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, 2003). For more details on these principles, please visit:

IJMM’s open‑access model maximizes the reach, transparency, and impact of research by removing financial access barriers for readers and supporting equitable access to scientific information.
