Publication Policy
The International Journal of Software Engineering and Architecture implements a balanced publication rights policy that safeguards both author interests and journal integrity. Our approach prioritizes exclusive licensing rather than copyright transfer, ensuring maximum dissemination while preserving authors' intellectual property rights.
Copyright Policy
The journal follows an exclusive publishing rights model instead of requiring copyright transfer.
Authors retain full ownership of their work while granting the journal the right to publish, distribute, and archive it.
This policy ensures that authors maintain control over their intellectual property while supporting the journal’s integrity and sustainability.
For specific cases, alternative licensing options may be available—refer to the Author Guidelines for further details.
