Who Owns Copyright?
Authors retain copyright in their articles
License on the Final Published Article
By default, IJE publishes the final published article (Version of Record, “VoR”) under Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 (attribution required; non-commercial reuse; derivatives must use the same license). In addition, the copyright of the manuscript's contents after publication belongs to the author.
License to Publish
Authors grant IJE a License to Publish the VoR and to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, communicate, translate, index, preserve, and otherwise make the VoR available in all media and formats, worldwide, for the duration necessary to ensure permanent scholarly access. IJE may use trusted third-party services (e.g., DOI registration, indexing, preservation).
Publication can proceed only after the corresponding author has signed the License to Publish (LTP) Agreement (acting on behalf of all co-authors). Agreement template can be found here.
