Copyright and License

In order to protect the legal rights and interests of both the journal and authors, and in addition to clarify the copyright property and ownership of the journal and authors, the following statement regarding manuscript copyright is made:

  1. The authors declare that they have not submitted the paper for publication anywhere else and that the submitted article has not been published previously.
  2. For any manuscript submitted to the journal, the authors should declare that their submitted paper is their own original work, that it does not infringe any rights or disclose any secrets, and that no disputes of intellectual property shall arise in relation to the ranking of author names, and that it does not contain or include material taken from other copyrighted sources. Wherever such materials have been included, they must be clearly identified by quotation marks and/or proper citation of such sources.
  3. After publication in the journal, authors retain the copyright of articles. The authors transfer the copyright to the journal to publish the article, use it for indexing, and storing on the journal website for public use.
  4. All published works are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. It means that authors reserve all proprietary rights, such as patent rights and the right to copy and redistribute the material of published works in any medium or format. Also, they have the right to use all or part of the article in their future works (e.g., lectures, press releases, and reviews of textbooks), remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.
  5. In the case of republication of the whole, part, or parts thereof in periodicals or reprint publications by a third party, written permission must be obtained from the managing editor of the journal. However, all articles with copyright belonging to the journal may be read and downloaded for free in perpetuity for the purpose of individual study.
  6. Journals, media organizations, websites, and other sources that have received authorization from the journal to use its copyrighted articles should declare the manuscript source as the journal's name or indicate the journal's web address when downloading or using articles from the journal; otherwise, such use will be deemed copyright infringement. The responsible persons shall assume any and all liabilities for civil disputes, administrative penalties, or other losses arising or resulting from the unauthorized republication or citation of articles from the journal.
  7. Under the Creative Commons end-user license, readers can reuse portions or extracts from the published article in their works by including attribution to the original work and its author.
