The Journal of Language, Literature & Social Affairs (JLLSA) is dedicated to promoting open access to scholarly research. All published content is freely accessible online without subscription or access charges. In accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), users are authorized to:

1. Read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts of the articles.

Open Archiving Policy

JLLSA maintains a robust open archiving policy to ensure long-term accessibility and discoverability of published research. All content is preserved in open repositories and may be freely accessed and cited. Users are encouraged to acknowledge the original source when referencing or reusing content from the journal. This policy fosters wider dissemination and enhances the visibility and scholarly impact of the research.

Self-Archiving and Author Rights

As a green open-access journal, JLLSA fully supports author self-archiving. Authors retain the copyright of their work and are permitted to deposit pre-prints, post-prints, or the final published version in personal, institutional, or subject-based repositories without requiring additional permissions. Public sharing is encouraged, provided the original publication is appropriately cited and linked back to the journal.

JLLSA strictly follows the ethical principles set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and complies with the quality benchmarks recommended by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. The editorial team is committed to maintaining integrity and transparency in the peer-review process, addressing conflicts of interest, and ensuring ethical conduct throughout the publication lifecycle.
