Open Access License
The aim of IJISEA is to provide the best choice of user license options, defining how readers can reuse open access articles published on our platforms.
IJISEA Policy:
- Offer a choice between a commercial and a non-commercial Creative Commons license for gold open access articles. The choice depends on the journal where the author chooses to publish. Refer to the journal’s homepage for specific details.
- Use the user license for our open archive content.
- Support green open access. Accepted manuscripts can be self-archived following our sharing guidelines and must be attached with a CC-BY-NC-ND license.
Choosing a License:
Once selected, Creative Commons user licenses are non-revocable. IJISEA recommends that authors check if their funding body requires a specific license. For more details, please visit the Creative Commons website.
