Copyright and Licensing

I&S is an open access, peer-reviewed journal aiming to foster sharing and re-use of quality research in order to accelerate scientific discovery. In light of this, the assumption is that scholars who publish their research in the journal, wish their work to be available as freely and as widely as possible through the open access publishing channel. The publisher therefore uses a number of depositing, indexing, and archiving services.
