At SSAR Publishers, our commitment to fostering the dissemination of knowledge and advancing scientific research is reflected in our (Online) Open Access Policy. All research articles published by SSAR Publishers adhere to the principles of (Online ) open access, ensuring that they are immediately and freely available for reading, downloading, and sharing. The following outlines the key aspects of our (Online) Open Access Policy:
1. Accessibility without Fees:
- Authors and copyright holders enjoy unhindered access to their published research articles without any financial barriers, globally. This includes an incessant right of access and a license to copy, distribute, transmit, and display the work publicly.
2. Creative Commons License:
-
Articles published by SSAR Publishers are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, specifically designed to facilitate openness and accessibility for non-commercial use. This license permits the use, distribution, and reproduction of the work in any medium for non-commercial purposes, provided the original work is properly cited.
3. Global Right of Access:
-
Authors and copyright holders have the perpetual right to access their work without any fee, ensuring global accessibility. This right extends to making and distributing derivative works, in any digital medium, for any non-commercial purpose, consistent with the CC BY-NC 4.0 license terms.
4. Attribution and Citation:
- Proper attribution of authorship is a crucial component of our (Online) Open Access Policy. Users are required to provide appropriate credit to the original authors when using, distributing, or reproducing the work. This ensures that the contributions of the authors are duly acknowledged.
5. Reuse Permissions:
-
No special permission is necessary for the non-commercial reuse of all or part of an article published by SSAR Publishers. For articles published under our (Online) open access Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 license, any part of the article may be reused for non-commercial purposes without explicit permission, provided that the original article is clearly cited. Commercial reuse requires prior written permission from the copyright holder (the author).
6. Endorsement Disclaimer:
- Reuse of an article does not imply endorsement by the authors or SSAR Publishers. The responsibility for the accuracy and appropriateness of the reused content lies with the user.
