Open Access Policy and Copyright

The Open Access editorial policy of the Journal for Veterinary Medicine, Biotechnology and Biosafety is developed based on recommendations and international standards for open access.

1. Essence of Open Access

By "open access," we mean free public access via the Internet, allowing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose without financial, legal, or technical barriers.

The only constraint on reproduction and distribution is the compliance with copyright law, which ensures that authors maintain control over the integrity of their work and receive proper acknowledgment and citation.

2. FAIR Principles

The editorial office is guided by the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability), which ensure high-quality scientific data management:

• Findable: Research materials are assigned a persistent identifier (DOI).
• Accessible: Data are available through standardized access mechanisms.
• Interoperable: Data are presented in open or commonly used formats.
• Reusable: Data are accompanied by sufficient descriptions (metadata).

3. Licensing and Copyright

The publication operates under the Creative Commons Attribution International CC-BY license.

• Copyright: Authors whose articles are published in the collection retain all copyrights without restriction.
• Journal Rights: Authors grant the journal the right of first publication for original scientific articles.
• Archiving: The publisher allows authors to store (deposit) the final version of the article in institutional or thematic repositories to ensure maximum visibility of the publication.

4. Immediate Access

The collection provides immediate open access to all published materials. This means:

• every user has free and unrestricted access to the full text of articles;
• manuscripts are available without a subscription or financial barriers;
• all materials become available online immediately upon publication.
