Abstract

The Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka has been published on Sri Lanka Journals Online since 2008, making use of Delayed Open Access — a feature that has been adopted by many publishers around the world. The JNSF lifted this embargo in June 2013 and has since experienced exponential growth both in downloads of articles and foreign submissions.
