KIJGE publishes articles under open access, utilizing the CC BY-NC-ND license. Upon acceptance of an article, authors are obligated to complete a "License Agreement."

For the purpose of manuscript evaluation for potential publication, the author(s) or rightsholder(s) (referred to as the 'Rightsholder') grants the Licensee the rights to utilize all manuscript versions for analysis, testing, and the development of publishing and research-related workflows, systems, products, projects, and services.

The Licensee is also granted the right to retain and store the manuscript, along with any associated correspondence, files, and forms, to maintain a historical record and facilitate research integrity investigations. This grant of rights remains in effect on a non-exclusive basis even if the manuscript is withdrawn, not accepted for publication, or is otherwise not published.

  1. For primary research manuscripts, the Rightsholder has the discretion to make the initially submitted version of the manuscript (referred to as the "Submitted Manuscript") available at any time and under any terms, including but not limited to, a CC BY-NC-ND license. After the article is published, the Rightsholder will acknowledge this and provide a link to the officially published version on the Licensee's website, stating: "This preprint has not undergone peer review (when applicable) or any post-submission improvements or corrections. The version of record of this article is published in KIJGE and is available online at https://doi.org/ DOI number."
