Open Access Policy
This journal follows an open-access model, ensuring that all content is made available immediately, free of charge, and without restrictions to any user or institution. Accordingly, readers are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any lawful purpose, without the need to obtain prior authorization from the editor or the authors.
This policy is aligned with the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which defines open access as the unrestricted online availability of peer-reviewed scientific literature, enabling its free use, from reading and downloading to indexing and incorporation into software, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inherent to Internet access. The only permissible limitations concern the preservation of the work’s integrity and the authors’ right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
To ensure long-term preservation of its content, the journal participates in the PKP PN network, which maintains a distributed archiving system among partner libraries and enables the creation of permanent repositories for the conservation and potential restoration of published materials.
Regarding the handling of personal data, the information provided by authors, reviewers, and other users during manuscript submission or evaluation is stored within the journal’s Open Journal System (OJS) and used exclusively for the regular functioning of editorial activities. The journal’s editorial team recognizes the importance of protecting this information and adopts measures to guarantee the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the data collected and processed, committing to its responsible use strictly for editorial purposes.
