3. Copyright Ownership

Authors retain copyright of their published articles. By publishing in ECBIS, authors grant the journal the right of first publication under the journal's copyright policy and applicable publication agreement.

Open access does not transfer copyright ownership to the journal or publisher. Instead, it enables broader access and reuse under the applicable license while preserving attribution to the original authors.

Readers may access published articles without paying subscription or access fees. They may use the journal's website to read, download, and share articles in accordance with the applicable license.

ECBIS encourages readers to cite the original publication accurately and responsibly when using its published research in academic, educational, professional, or other appropriate contexts.

5. Author Self-Archiving

Authors are permitted and encouraged to share their work through institutional repositories, personal websites, academic profiles, and other scholarly platforms, subject to the journal's copyright policy and applicable licensing terms.

Authors should provide complete bibliographic information and, where available, a DOI or link to the version published in ECBIS. Any applicable license information should also be retained when the article is shared.

6. Benefits of Open Access

ECBIS recognizes several important benefits of open-access publishing, including:

  • Wider dissemination: Research can reach readers regardless of institutional subscription access.

  • Greater visibility: Freely accessible articles can be shared more easily across academic and professional networks.

  • Scholarly collaboration: Open access can facilitate communication among researchers from different disciplines and geographical regions.

  • Knowledge exchange: Researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners can consult relevant findings without subscription barriers.

  • Responsible reuse: A clear licensing framework enables readers to reuse and adapt research within established attribution and licensing conditions.

Open access does not guarantee citation, acceptance, or research impact. All manuscripts remain subject to ECBIS's editorial standards and applicable peer-review procedures.

7. Publication Ethics and Quality Assurance

Open access does not reduce the journal's commitment to publication ethics, editorial independence, research integrity, or peer-review quality.

All submitted manuscripts are evaluated according to the journal's aims and scope, editorial policies, and applicable review procedures. Authors, editors, and reviewers are expected to comply with ECBIS policies on authorship, conflicts of interest, research misconduct, copyright, and other relevant ethical requirements.

8. Long-Term Availability

ECBIS aims to maintain the accessibility and integrity of its published content over time. The journal will seek to preserve article files, bibliographic information, and associated publication records through appropriate digital preservation and backup practices.

The journal's commitment to long-term availability is subject to the preservation systems and arrangements implemented by the publisher.

9. Commitment to Open Scholarly Communication

Through this policy, ECBIS supports the principle that scholarly research should be accessible to the academic community and the wider public, subject to appropriate legal, ethical, and licensing conditions.

The journal will continue to promote the responsible dissemination of research in economics, business, management, and related disciplines through transparent open-access practices.
