1. Open Access Philosophy

The International Journal of Advanced Scientific Research in Engineering Trends and Technology (IJENGT) operates under the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Open Access ensures that researchers, practitioners, educators, and policy-makers worldwide have equal opportunity to access and apply engineering and scientific findings.

2. Licensing and Creative Commons

All articles published in IJENGT are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) (or equivalent CC license as specified upon acceptance).

  • Share: Anyone may copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
  • Attribution: Proper credit must be given to the author(s) and original publication details in IJENGT.
  • Non-Commercial: Published material cannot be used for commercial purposes without explicit permission.

3. Author Rights & Self-Archiving

Authors retain the copyright to their work. Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit all versions of their paper (Submitted manuscript, Accepted manuscript, or Final published PDF) in institutional or central repositories (such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu, or university databases) provided proper attribution to IJENGT is included.

4. Article Processing Charges (APC)

To cover the costs of peer review, technical editing, digital formatting, server hosting, and long-term archiving, IJENGT charges a modest Article Processing Charge (APC) upon final paper acceptance. There are no submission fees, and publication fees are kept transparently low to support international researchers.

5. Archiving Policy

To ensure long-term availability of scientific literature, IJENGT archives all published issues digitally on secure servers and institution repositories. Full-text archives remain permanently accessible even in the event of platform changes.

What are the disadvantages of open access journals?

Some potential disadvantages of open access journals include publication fees, differences in journal reputation, and the risk of predatory publishers. Some journals charge authors an article processing charge (APC), which may be difficult for students and researchers with limited funding. However, not all open access journals charge publication fees. Open access status alone does not determine a journal's quality or reputation. Authors should check the journal's peer-review process, editorial board, publication policies, indexing claims, and fee structure before submitting their research paper.
