Open Access and Copyrights
Open Access

Why we chose Open Access model?
According to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), «OA is not an end in itself, but a means to other ends, above all, to the equity, quality, usability, and sustainability of research». We are convinced that this model is the best practice for scientific publication and has significant advantages.
However, we recognize that the merits of open access are debatable.
How open are we?
We provide open access in accordance with the six criteria defined in the Guide for the evaluating the Openness of Journals, created by the SPARC, PLOS та OASPA.
We ensure openness of all received link metadata. We submit all required article metadata to CROSSREF in accordance with the I4OC Open Citation Standards.
Self-archiving
We recommend that authors independently archive in any institutional or other specialized storage (repositories), websites, any version of the article (manuscript sent to us for consideration, accepted for publication, published) without an embargo period.
In the case of self-archiving, authors must indicate the Publisher and Edition, specify the URL of the article (if available).
