The Cyprus Research and Technology Institute for Higher Studies (CRTIHS) is a global leader in academic research, technological innovation, and open-access knowledge dissemination. At CRTIHS, we strongly advocate for open-source publishing, ensuring that scientific discoveries, technological advancements, and academic research are freely available to scholars, students, and professionals worldwide.
