Open access, copyright and digital preservation policy

Articles and research published by UTE University are conducted under an Open Access regime in electronic format. By submitting an article to any of the scientific journals of UTE University, the author(s) accept these conditions.

UTE applies the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license to articles in its scientific journals. The author retains the copyright of their article. However, under this open access license, the author agrees that anyone can reuse their article in whole or in part for any purpose, free of charge, even for commercial purposes. Anyone can copy, distribute, or reuse the content as long as the author and the original source are properly cited. This facilitates freedom of reuse and also ensures that the content can be accessed without barriers for research needs.

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License

The journal Eidos is distributed under a
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Internacional Licence.

 

Attribution (by): Any exploitation of the work is permitted, including commercial use, as well as the creation of derivative works, the distribution of which is also allowed without any restrictions.

Can I use someone else's content in my article?

If you have written permission to do so, yes. If your manuscript contains content such as photos, images, figures, tables, audio files, videos, etc., of which you or your co-authors do not own, we will require you to demonstrate that the owner of that content (a) has given you written permission to use it, and (b) has approved the CC BY license to apply to your content.

If you do not have permission from the owner, we will ask you to remove that content or replace it with other content that you own or have permission to use.

Do not assume that you can use any content you find on the Internet or that the use of content is fair use because it is not clear who owns it or what license applies. The author is obliged to find out what rights he/she has, if any, to use that content.

Can I use the content of the article I previously published in another journal?

Many authors assume that if they previously published an article through another publisher, they own the rights to that content and can use it freely in their article for UTE scientific journals, but that is not necessarily the case. Reuse of content from a previous article depends on the license covering it. Some publishers allow free and unrestricted reuse of the content of the article they own, as is the case under the CC-BY license. Other publishers use licenses that allow reuse only if the same license is applied by the person or publisher reusing the content.

If the document was published under a CC-BY license or another license that allows free and unrestricted use, you can use the content in your article as long as you provide appropriate attribution, as explained above.

If the content was published under a more restrictive license, you must determine what rights you have under that license. At a minimum, review the license to make sure you can use the content. Contact the publisher if you have any questions about the license terms. Journal staff cannot provide legal advice on your rights to use third-party content. If the license does not allow you to use the content in a document that will be covered by an unrestricted license, you must obtain written permission from the publisher to use the content in the article you submit for consideration by UTE scientific journals. Do not include any content in your article that you do not have the right to use and always provide proper attribution.

What licenses are acceptable for data repositories?

If any relevant accompanying data is submitted to repositories with established usage licenses, policies should not be more restrictive than CC-BY.

Removal of content used without clear rights

Eídos reserves the right to remove any photo, screenshot, image, figure, table, illustration, audio and video files, and the like, from any article, either before or after publication, if there is reason to believe that the content was included in the article without the permission of the content owner.

Article processing charges and other fees

The Eidos journal does not impose charges on authors. Therefore, there are no associated article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, page charges, color charges, etc. There is no instance where money is required to complete the publication process.

Digital preservation policy

Eídos uses a digital preservation system that ensures that all intellectual content, as well as files and electronic documents uploaded to the platform, remain for a long period of time, ensuring accessibility, integrity, originality, and authenticity, reliability.

The journal provides backup and digital preservation services. In both cases, redundancy and data integrity algorithms are used, as well as the format in which they have been recorded.

In the first case, it is a mechanism that protects against unforeseen digital asset breaks (disk breakage, damage to budgeted servers, loss of material due to exceptional or unpredictable situations, etc.) and basically backs up all kinds of information present on the servers, ensuring integrity systematically.

On the other hand, digital preservation controls and backs up high-quality digital resources that may be necessary in the future.

Eídos establishes a digital preservation policy based on the principles of commitment and responsibility towards all profiles involved in the management of the editorial process. Therefore, the journal defines the following points of the policy:

The journal carefully stores digital resources.

The journal applies preservation strategies (data migration, preservation of technology and digital archaeology, periodic and systematic control of technology efficiency).

Encoding of preserved data and information (without reference to external documentation) and relative self-documentation;

The journal strongly limits dependence on data, systems, or documentation.

The journal carries out encapsulation processes of preserved data and descriptive metadata

Finally, Eídos participates in different international repositories, such as Google Scholar, LatinRev, and WorldCat

Interoperability protocol

The Eidos journal uses the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvest (OAI-PMH) based on the following metadata formats:

DC metadata format: the metadata structure conforms to the Dublin Core format.

RFC1807 metadata format: structures the metadata in a way that is consistent with the RFC1807 format.

MARC metadata format: Structures the metadata in a way that is consistent with the MARC format.

MARC21 metadata format: Structures the metadata in a way that is consistent with the MARC21 format.

MARC21 metadata format: Structures the metadata in a way that is consistent with the MARC21 format.

[1] "Open access" to peer-reviewed scientific literature refers to its availability free of charge on the public internet, allowing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of these 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, other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
