The journal is an open access journal, which means that all of its contents are available free of charge for all individuals and their institutions. Users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search and link the complete text of all articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without being required to ask for permission from their authors and editors beforehand. This definition of open access agrees with the Budapest Open Access Initiative,BOAI The re-utilization of works can be done in the terms listed under the license Creative Commons Reconocimiento 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

Since its foundation in 2012, RIMCIS has not charged Article Processing Charges (APCs) to the authors for the publication of their manuscripts. Despite the voluntary work that is carried out, the expenses associated with both the publication process and the necessary services for publication are not covered. From June 19th 2021, these processing charges should be covered by the authors once the articles are accepted. Thus, authors will pay 600 euros to cover these charges (plus 21% VAT only applicable to payments from institutions, companies, individuals and professionals residing in Spain; individuals residing in the EU, and companies, organizations and professionals residing in the EU without VAT Number).
