Copyright & Licensing Policy
The International Journal of Computational Science and Digital Innovation (IJCSDI) believes authors should retain full ownership of their intellectual property while maximizing scholarly dissemination.
Authors Retain 100% Unrestricted Copyright
Unlike legacy subscription publishers that require authors to surrender their copyrights, IJCSDI authors grant the journal a non-exclusive license to publish, display, and archive the version of record. Authors preserve complete intellectual and legal ownership of their manuscripts.
1. Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) Framework
Share & Distribute
Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format (digital, print, slides, institutional repositories).
Adapt & Transform
Remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, including data mining and derivative works.
No Commercial Restriction
Users and authors may utilize the work for commercial and non-commercial endeavors under CC BY 4.0.
Academic Attribution
Appropriate credit must be given, providing a link to the license, and indicating if modifications were made.
2. Self-Archiving & Green Open Access Policy
IJCSDI maintains an unrestricted self-archiving and Green Open Access policy aligned with international repository standards (documented and compatible with SHERPA/RoMEO criteria). Authors are actively encouraged to deposit and share all versions of their manuscripts without any embargo period, fees, or permissions required:
Authors may deposit preprint drafts on public preprint servers (such as arXiv, TechRxiv, SSRN, or Zenodo) or institutional websites prior to peer review.
Authors may deposit the final peer-reviewed, accepted manuscript into university institutional repositories or funder repositories immediately upon acceptance.
Authors may permanently share the publisher's final Version of Record (PDF) through institutional repositories, subject archives, personal websites, and scholarly networking platforms (such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu, or LinkedIn), subject to the applicable terms of those platforms.
Standard open-access licensing agreement for institutional records and funding grants.
