Licence Terms

Everything published in IJoMS is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

You are free to

  • Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
  • Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

Under the following term

  • Attribution — you must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the licence, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the licence terms. No additional restrictions may be applied: you may not add legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the licence permits.

Third-Party Material

Where an article reproduces figures, tables, or long quotations owned by someone else, it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission and to name the source in the caption. Material that cannot be released under CC BY 4.0 must be identified as such in the manuscript.
