Creative Commons Licensing Policy

The IIP : International Multidisciplinary Research Journal utilizes Creative Commons (CC) licensing to facilitate the wide dissemination, accessibility, and reuse of published research. This licensing framework ensures that authors retain recognition for their work while allowing others to freely share and build upon it within established guidelines.

Key Aspects of Creative Commons Licensing

1. License Type

  • We primarily use the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY) for all articles published in our journal.
  • This license permits unrestricted use, distribution, and adaptation, provided that proper credit is given to the original authors and the journal.

2. Attribution Requirement

  • Under the CC BY license, users must provide appropriate credit when using or sharing an article. This includes:
    • Acknowledging the author(s).
    • Mentioning the title of the work.
    • Citing the journal name.
    • Providing a link to the original publication.
  • Proper attribution ensures that authors receive due recognition for their contributions.

3. Freedom to Share and Adapt

  • The CC BY license allows users to copy, modify, adapt, and redistribute published content in any medium or format.
  • This promotes broad dissemination and encourages researchers, educators, and professionals to build upon and enhance the original work.

4. Commercial and Non-Commercial Use

  • The CC BY license permits both commercial and non-commercial use of published content.
  • This flexibility allows research to be applied across various fields, including academic studies, educational purposes, and commercial innovations.

5. No Additional Restrictions

  • The CC BY license does not impose additional restrictions beyond the requirement for proper attribution.
  • Users cannot apply legal terms or technological measures that restrict others from using the work as permitted under the license.

6. Global Accessibility

  • Creative Commons licenses are internationally recognized, ensuring global access to published research.
  • By using CC licensing, we ensure that our content remains freely available to researchers, practitioners, and the general public worldwide.

By implementing Creative Commons licensing, the IIP : International Multidisciplinary Research Journal actively supports open access publishing, knowledge-sharing, and scholarly collaboration. This approach enhances the visibility, impact, and reach of the research we publish, contributing to a more accessible and inclusive academic environment.
