7. Author Self-Archiving and Repositories

Authors may share and deposit published articles in institutional repositories, personal academic websites, and other scholarly repositories in accordance with the license attached to the published version.

When sharing an article, authors are encouraged to include complete bibliographic information and a DOI link to the version of record on the CEJou website. Other manuscript versions may be subject to separate agreements or applicable repository policies.

8. Reader Access and Article Processing Charges

Open access for readers is distinct from publication charges that may apply to authors. Reading and downloading published articles do not require payment.

Any submission, review, publication, or other author-facing fees must be stated transparently in the journal's separate Article Processing Charge (APC) policy. Charges, if applicable, do not determine editorial acceptance or peer-review outcomes.

9. Research Integrity and Access Restrictions

The open-access policy does not override legitimate requirements concerning research participant confidentiality, personal data protection, third-party intellectual property rights, or publication ethics.

Where a published article requires correction, retraction, or an expression of concern, CEJou will handle the publication record in accordance with its Correction and Retraction Policy. Public notices should remain accessible whenever legally and ethically permissible.
