Authors who publish in this journal agree to the following terms:

First, the copyright of the scholarly work remains with the author(s). However, the author(s) grant the journal the right of first publication. In addition, the published article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License, which allows others to use, distribute, and share the work, provided that proper acknowledgment is given to the author(s) and that the journal is cited as the original place of publication.

Second, authors are granted the flexibility to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the published version of their work. For instance, authors may deposit the article in institutional repositories, academic platforms, or republish it in book form, as long as the initial publication in this journal is properly acknowledged.

Third, authors are not only permitted but also encouraged to disseminate their manuscripts online, both prior to and during the submission process. This practice can enhance the dissemination of scholarly work, foster more dynamic academic exchange, and increase the visibility and potential citation of the published work (see The Effect of Open Access).

In addition, authors are expected to uphold the highest standards of publication ethics, including ensuring the originality of their work, avoiding plagiarism, and providing proper citation of all sources used. This policy is designed to balance the protection of authors’ rights with the broad and responsible dissemination of knowledge.
