Licensing Policy

The International Multidisciplinary Journal of Science, Technology, and Business (IJMSTB) is an open access journal. This means that all articles published in the journal are freely available to read and download by anyone, anywhere in the world.

The IJMSTB uses the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license. This license allows anyone to reuse, remix, and distribute your article in any medium or format, even commercially, as long as they give you credit for the original work.

What does this mean for you as an author?

When you publish your article in the IJMSTB, you retain copyright of your work. However, you grant the journal a non-exclusive license to publish your article and make it available to the public under the CC BY license.

This means that anyone can use, distribute, or adapt your article for any purpose, as long as they credit you as the author. The journal may also archive your article on its website and in other databases.

Why did the IJMSTB choose the CC BY license?

The IJMSTB believes that open access is the best way to disseminate scientific knowledge. By making all articles freely available to read and download, the journal helps to ensure that everyone has access to the latest research, regardless of their location or income.

Additionally, the CC BY license is one of the most permissive open access licenses available. This means that it allows authors to retain a high degree of control over their work, while also making it easy for others to share and reuse their research.

What do I need to do to publish an article in the IJMSTB?

To publish an article in the IJMSTB, you must first submit your manuscript for peer review. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, you will be asked to sign a license agreement. This agreement will confirm that you are granting the journal a non-exclusive license to publish your article under the CC BY license.

Once you have signed the license agreement, your article will be published in the IJMSTB and made available to the public. You will then be free to reuse, remix, and distribute your article in any way you choose, as long as you credit the journal as the original publisher.
