Open Access Policy
Unless service-specific terms of use apply, by browsing the World Mediation Association ("WMA") website https://world-mediation.com and using its online services, the user agrees to the following:
WMA adopted an Open Access Policy in support of its commitment to the sharing and dissemination of knowledge and to making its publications easily available to the widest possible audience.
WMA believes that the fundamental purpose of balanced and effective ways is to provide frameworks and incentives that encourage the creation, dissemination, and use of works of the human mind for the business, economic, cultural, and social benefit of all.
WMA takes a leading role in facilitating universal access to a wealth of knowledge and technological information. WMA also makes available extensive collections of publications, data, studies, reports, and learning resources. WMA’s Open Access Policy formalizes this commitment to knowledge-sharing, providing more streamlined access to these resources and enabling policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and the general public to easily use and build upon them.
