Author Rights and Responsibilities

  1. Copyright Ownership:
    • The journal allows the author(s) to hold the copyright without restrictions.
    • Authors also retain full publishing rights without limitations.
  2. Responsibility for Content:
    • Authors must ensure that their manuscript contains no proprietary material unprotected by patent or patent application.
    • The responsibility for technical content and the protection of proprietary material rests solely with the author(s) and their affiliated organizations, not with the journal or its editorial staff.
    • The corresponding or first author must ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript before submission.
  3. Use and Sharing Rights:
    • Authors may use and share their submitted version without any restrictions.
    • Once an article is accepted, authors may post the accepted manuscript (preprint) on:
      • Personal websites
      • Institutional repositories
      • Departmental websites
    • The final published version (post-print) may not be posted in external repositories (other than the author’s institution) for 12 months after publication.
  4. Reuse and Distribution:
    • Authors may use the published article for their own teaching purposes or share it individually with research colleagues, provided it is not for commercial purposes.
    • Authors may use their article in a book authored or edited by them anytime after publication. However, this does not apply to books where the author is contributing only a chapter to a book edited by someone else.
    • The published version may not be uploaded to third-party websites or repositories without explicit permission from the journal.
  5. Attribution and Linking:
    • When posting or reusing the article, authors must provide a proper citation and a link to the DOI or the official published version on the Wisdom Vortex: International Journal of Social Science and Humanities website.
