Open Access Policy

IJEF will operate as an open-access journal, meaning its articles will be freely available worldwide upon publication without any restrictions or charges. Contributions that meet this criterion will typically be published under a Creative Commons license, as granted by the authors, with IJEF retaining only a non-exclusive right of use.

This model, known as gold open access, ensures that articles in IJEF achieve maximum dissemination and are readily accessible and reusable by scholars, scientists, and other interested parties. By adopting gold open access, IJEF aims to enhance the visibility of research results, increase their citation frequency, and facilitate the rapid sharing and utilization of knowledge.
