Open Access Policy

Confseries SRL fully embraces an open access model, ensuring that all articles, issues, and volumes are freely available to the public. Readers can access, download, print, distribute, and share materials without restrictions or charges.

This approach is intended to broaden the reach of academic research. Studies published through open access channels tend to receive higher visibility and citation rates, ultimately providing greater academic recognition for the authors.

All content published under our open access framework is permanently accessible online and may be freely reused, as long as the original publication is cited appropriately.

  • Authors retain full copyright for their articles.
  • Publishing rights are governed by a Creative Commons license.
  • Following the gold open access standard, the final published version is available to readers without delay or cost.

License and Copyright

Usage rights are determined by the selected user license. Authors maintain their copyright while transferring the right to publish to Confseries SRL.

By default, articles are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), which allows non-commercial sharing with attribution but does not permit remixing or commercial use.

For authors or funding bodies requiring more flexible licensing, Confseries offers the option to publish under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), allowing wider reuse with proper credit.
