The Research Journal of Le Cordon Bleu University follows an open-access model. The full content of all issues is available for download without embargo periods, with the aim of increasing the dissemination of research and the exchange of knowledge.

Authors are encouraged to pre-publish their manuscripts in institutional repositories or on their personal websites before and during the submission and review process, and to post the PDF of the journal’s final version after publication. These practices benefit authors through productive exchanges and help increase citation of their work once published.

In addition, to enhance open access to its content, the journal uses the Dublin Core metadata element set and offers articles in multiple data formats (PDF, XML, and HTML).
