For articles published in IJESD, copyright will be retained by the authors. Articles are licensed under an open-access Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license, which means all papers can be downloaded, shared, and reused without restriction, as long as the original authors are properly cited. These conditions allow for maximum use and exposure of the work while ensuring that the authors receive proper credit.
In exceptional circumstances, articles may be licensed differently. If you have the specific condition (such as one linked to funding) that does not allow this license, please mention this to the editorial office of the journal at submission.
Permissions for Reproducing Published Material in Your Work
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any published material (figures, schemes, tables, or any extract of a text) which does not fall into the public domain, or for which they do not hold the copyright. Permission should be requested by the authors from the copyright holder (usually the Publisher, please refer to the imprint of the individual publications to identify the copyright holder).
The copyright holder may give you instructions on the form of acknowledgment to be followed; otherwise, follow the style: "Reproduced with permission from [author], [journal title]; published by [publisher], [year], [reference number].” at the end of the caption of the Table or Figure. In order to avoid unnecessary delays in the publication process, authors should start obtaining permissions as early as possible. When submitting your article, please upload the permission together with the rest of your files.
