Open Access, Licensing, and Copyright Policy

The journal adheres to the principles of Diamond Open Access model: all articles and issues are freely accessible to both authors and readers. 

However, the editorial board particularly encourages submissions from PhD candidates (third-cycle higher education students), who are fully supported under this no-fee policy.

All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution International (CC-BY 4.0) license, which permits free use, distribution, adaptation, and reproduction of the materials in any format and for any purpose, including commercial use, provided that appropriate credit is given to the authors and to the original source of publication in the journal.                                                               

Authors retain the copyright to their works. Submission of a manuscript to the journal implies that authors grant the journal the right of first publication and agree to the distribution of the article under the open CC BY 4.0 license. Authors also retain the right to independently deposit the published version of their article in repositories, on personal websites, or other platforms, provided that proper acknowledgment of the original publication in the journal is included.

The journal supports the widest possible dissemination of research results and encourages their reuse in accordance with the principles of Open Science.
