Engineering Journal: Open Access Licence Policy

Definition of Open Access Publication for Engineering Journal IJOER:

Open Access publications at Engineering Journal IJOER provide free and unrestricted access to research for readers, in line with our commitment to broad dissemination of scientific knowledge. Authors and copyright holders grant users a worldwide, perpetual right to access, distribute, and display their work, with proper attribution. Authors also have the option to deposit their work in repositories for long-term archiving and public access.

An Open Access Publication in IJOER meets the following conditions:

1. Free and Irrevocable Access:

Authors and copyright holders grant all users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access to the published work. This includes the right to copy, use, distribute, transmit, display the work publicly, and create derivative works for responsible purposes, provided that proper attribution of authorship is given. Additionally, users have the right to make a limited number of printed copies for personal use.

2. Immediate Online Availability:

A complete version of the work, along with all supplementary materials, is deposited in a suitable online repository immediately after publication. The repository is supported by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or another well-established organization that enables open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving.

Note: The enforcement of proper attribution and responsible use of published work is upheld by community standards, as it is today, rather than by copyright law.
