As per significant definitions of open access in the scientific literature (namely the Budapest, Berlin, and Bethesda declarations), IJECSE defines open access by the following conditions:
Peer-reviewed literature is freely available without subscription or price barriers. Literature is immediately released in open access format (no embargo period). Published material can be re-used without obtaining permission as long as a correct citation to the original publication is given.
"Reproduction is permitted for non-commercial purposes". From 2025 IJECSE journal started to publish articles under the Creative Commons Attribution License external link and are now using the latest version of the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.en which grants authors the most extensive rights.
This means that all articles published in IJECSE journal, including data, graphics, and supplements, can be linked from external sources, scanned by search engines, re-used by text mining applications or websites, blogs, etc. free of charge under the sole condition of proper accreditation of the source and original publisher. IJECSE believes that open access publishing fosters the exchange of research results amongst scientists from different disciplines, thus facilitating interdisciplinary research. Open access publishing also provides access to research results to researchers worldwide, including those from developing countries and an interested general public. Although IJECSE publishes all of its journals under the open-access model, we believe that open access is an enriching part of the scholarly communication process that can and should co-exist with other forms of communication and publication, such as society-based publishing and conferencing activities.
Important Note: Some articles (especially reviews) may contain figures, tables or text taken from other publications, for which IJECSE does not hold the copyright or the right to re-license the published material. Please note that the new author should inquire whether to use this material with the original author.
