Open Access, Copyright & Licensing

EJAS is a fully open-access journal. Every article is freely available to read, download and share from the moment of publication, without subscription, payment or registration barriers for readers. Open access is sustained by a single Article Processing Charge payable only after acceptance.

Copyright

Authors retain copyright in their work. In submitting, they grant the journal a non-exclusive licence to publish and disseminate the article; copyright is not transferred to the publisher.

Licensing

Articles are published by default under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence, which permits any user to copy, distribute, adapt and build upon the work, including commercially, provided the authors and the original publication are properly credited and any changes indicated. A more restrictive Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC) licence is available on request.

Self-archiving

Authors may deposit and share their work without embargo: the submitted version (preprint) may be posted at any time on a personal website, institutional repository or preprint server, as may the accepted version and the published version of record. When sharing the accepted or published version, authors are asked to link to the version of record. See also the Preprint & Prior Publication Policy.

Reuse, attribution and charges

Because articles are published under a Creative Commons licence, third parties may reuse them subject to proper attribution; authors reusing their own work elsewhere should cite the original EJAS publication. Open access is supported by a one-time Article Processing Charge, levied only after acceptance.
