1. Open Access
Open access (OA) is the practice of having peer-reviewed scientific material made freely available online without access restrictions. "Gold" open access is offered by journals to ensure that all articles are made immediately accessible on the publisher's website. The cost of this access is typically covered by an article processing charge (APC), which is paid by authors, institutions, funding agencies, or sponsors upon acceptance of the paper.
Complete information regarding CRI Journals Open Access policies is available here.
2. Copyright of Published Material
The journal requires authors to sign a consent declaration form, accepting responsibility for releasing the material to the publisher on behalf of all co-authors. While the author retains the copyright to the content, they transfer all licensing and publishing rights to the publisher. This transfer includes the non-exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article in various forms, such as reprints, translations, photographic reproductions, microform, electronic formats (both online and offline), or other similar reproductions.
3. Creative Commons Licensing
The journal is an Open Access (OA) publication, with articles distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).This license permits others to remix, adapt, and build upon the work for non-commercial purposes, provided proper credit is given and the new creations are licensed under the same terms. This allows authors to share their work widely while retaining certain rights.
4. Repository Policy
Authors can freely deposit all versions of their articles (submitted, accepted, and final published) in institutional or other repositories without any embargo period. The Centre for Research and Innovation journals are archived in the PKP Preservation Network for long-term preservation services.
5. Disclaimer
The views expressed in the journal are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Centre for Research and Innovation (CRI), its Editorial Board, or the Publisher. CRI and its publishers assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or utility of the content. Users are advised to verify the information using other sources.
