The Journal of Education and Counseling (JECO) provides immediate open access to all articles on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of Knowledge and is an invaluable way to maximize the visibility and impact of research, especially in the field of guidance and counseling. This means:

1. Everyone has free and unlimited access to the full text of all articles published in JECO;
2. Everyone is free to re-use the published material if proper accreditation/citation of the original publication is given;
3. Open an opportunity for potential benefits for society, which can improve the research profile of the author(s);
4. Open access publication is supported by the authors' institutes or research funding agencies by payment of a comparatively low Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted articles.

Important Note: Some articles (especially Reviews) may contain figures, tables, or text taken from other publications, for which JECO does not hold the copyright or the right to re-license the published material. Please keep in mind that you should ask the original copyright holder (usually the original publisher or authors) whether or not this material can be reused.
