Copyright Policy
Authors who publish their work with INTEGRATED agree to the following conditions:
- Copyright Retention: Authors retain the full copyright of their work and grant the journal the right of first publication. The published article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows others to share, copy, and adapt the work, provided that appropriate credit is given to the original authors and the initial publication in this journal is properly acknowledged.
- Non-Exclusive Distribution: Authors are free to enter into separate, non-exclusive contractual agreements for the distribution of the journal's published version of the work. This includes depositing the article in an institutional repository or publishing it as a book chapter, as long as INTEGRATED is explicitly cited as the original venue of publication.
- Self-Archiving: We strongly encourage authors to share their pre-print or post-print manuscripts online (for example, in institutional repositories or on personal academic profiles) before and during the submission process. This practice often leads to productive academic discussions and earlier, broader citation impacts.
