Open Access & Rights Policy

JENOVA: Journal of Economics, Finance, Accounting, and Organizational Advancement is committed to the widest possible dissemination of scholarly knowledge. All content is made freely available to readers immediately upon publication (gold open access), without embargo, to support transparency, reproducibility, and scholarly impact.

1. Licensing and User Rights

   Unless otherwise stated, all articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. This license permits anyone to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full texts, crawl for indexing, perform text and data mining, or use the content for any lawful purpose with proper attribution. Adaptations and derivative works must be distributed under the same license (CC BY-SA 4.0 or later). Commercial reuse is allowed with attribution and share-alike. Users must indicate if changes were made and must not apply legal terms or technological measures that restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

2. Copyright and Author Rights

   Authors retain copyright in their work. By submitting to JENOVA, authors grant the journal a non-exclusive license to publish and disseminate the article and to identify itself as the original publisher.

   • Share the published PDF on personal, institutional, and subject repositories.
   • Reuse figures, tables, and excerpts with appropriate citation.
   • Develop derivative works (e.g., extended or updated studies) provided the resulting work is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 (or a later version) with clear attribution to the original publication.

   Note: Third-party material included in an article must be clearly credited and may be subject to different license terms.

3. Preprints and Postprints (Self-Archiving)

   • Preprints (author’s original manuscript before peer review) may be posted at any time; once available, add a citation and link to the submitted or published version.
   • Postprints (author’s accepted manuscript) and the Version of Record (publisher’s PDF) may be deposited immediately upon publication in institutional or subject repositories, author websites, and academic social networks, with a link to the article DOI. The Version of Record is released under CC BY-SA 4.0 and should be shared under the same license.

4. Article Processing Charges (APCs) and Waivers

   To sustain open access publishing, JENOVA may levy an APC for accepted articles. Any fee—if applicable—is transparently displayed on the journal website and does not influence editorial decisions. Waivers or discounts may be granted for authors facing financial constraints, particularly from low- and lower-middle-income institutions, upon request and editorial approval.

5. Repository and Long-Term Preservation

   The journal ensures digital preservation and long-term accessibility through recognized archiving services (e.g., PKP Preservation Network / LOCKSS / CLOCKSS or an equivalent service). Metadata are openly available and structured to facilitate indexing and discovery.

6. Interoperability and Indexing

   JENOVA supports machine readability and harvesting via OAI-PMH and exposes standard bibliographic metadata (e.g., Dublin Core, Crossref). The journal follows best-practice guidelines for open access and actively seeks inclusion in reputable abstracting and indexing services.

7. Data, Materials, and Code

   Where appropriate, authors are strongly encouraged to deposit datasets, analytical code, and supplementary materials in trusted open repositories (e.g., OSF, Zenodo, Figshare) and to cite them within the manuscript. Licenses for data and code should be clearly indicated (e.g., CC0, CC BY, MIT, or Apache-2.0). Authors should justify any access restrictions (confidentiality, proprietary data, human-subjects protection).

   Note: Licensing choices for data/code are independent of the article’s CC BY-SA license unless explicitly stated.

8. Ethical and Legal Considerations

   Open access does not waive ethical responsibilities. Authors must ensure compliance with ethical standards (e.g., human subjects, privacy, informed consent), intellectual property laws, and third-party rights. Any copyrighted material used must carry appropriate permissions and acknowledgments.

9. Commercial and Non-Commercial Reuse

   Under CC BY-SA 4.0, both commercial and non-commercial reuse are permitted with attribution and share-alike. Reusers must not imply journal endorsement and must preserve the integrity of the scholarly record (e.g., not misrepresenting, altering, or omitting essential context).

10. Policy Updates

    This Open Access Policy may be revised to reflect evolving community standards, legal requirements, and preservation practices. Updates will be posted on the journal website and apply prospectively.
