Copyright & Licensing Policy

The International Journal of Computer Engineering and Embedded Technologies follows a clear and transparent copyright and licensing policy for all published content. This policy has been established in accordance with the standards expected by international abstracting and indexing bodies, including Scopus and Web of Science, and aligns with recognized international copyright and open access licensing frameworks.

Copyright Ownership

Authors retain full copyright of their published articles. Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, authors grant the journal the right of first publication, while retaining all other rights to their own work, including the right to reproduce, distribute, and reuse the article for any lawful purpose, provided that the original place of publication is properly acknowledged.

Licensing Terms

All articles published in the journal are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY), unless otherwise indicated. Under this license, readers and users are permitted to share, meaning copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format, and adapt, meaning remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, including commercial use, subject to the condition that appropriate credit is given to the original author and source, a link to the license is provided, and any changes made to the original work are clearly indicated. The specific license applied is displayed on every published article.

Author Warranties

By submitting a manuscript, authors warrant that the work is original, has not been published previously in any form or language, and is not under consideration elsewhere; that all co-authors have approved the submission and agree to its publication under the journal's licensing terms; that the manuscript does not infringe upon any existing copyright, and that any third-party material, such as figures, tables, or extended quotations, reproduced within the manuscript has been used with proper permission and citation of the original source; and that the manuscript does not contain any unlawful, defamatory, or fraudulent material.

Use of Third-Party Material

Where authors wish to include material for which they do not hold copyright, such as figures, images, tables, or substantial text extracts from other publications, it is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission from the copyright holder prior to submission and to provide appropriate attribution within the manuscript. The journal accepts no liability for copyright infringement arising from an author's failure to secure such permissions.

Reuse and Redistribution by Third Parties

Since all content is published under an open access license, third parties are permitted to reuse, redistribute, and build upon published articles without seeking additional permission from the journal or the authors, provided that the terms of the applicable Creative Commons license are followed, including proper attribution to the original authors and citation of the journal as the original source of publication.

Self-Archiving Rights

Authors are permitted to deposit and share the submitted, accepted, or final published version of their article in institutional repositories, subject-specific repositories, preprint servers, or personal and academic websites, at any time and without embargo, consistent with the journal's open access model.

Moral Rights

Authors retain the moral right to be identified as the author of their work in accordance with applicable copyright law, irrespective of the reuse or redistribution of the article under the open license.

Trademark and Journal Identity

The name, logo, and visual identity of the journal are the property of the publisher and may not be used to imply endorsement of any third-party product, service, or publication without prior written consent.

Policy Compliance

This copyright and licensing policy is designed to ensure full transparency for authors, readers, and institutions, and to satisfy the copyright disclosure and licensing requirements expected by major international indexing and abstracting databases, including Scopus and Web of Science.
