Copyright policy

Authors who publish in Sage Sphere Higher Education retain full copyright of their works, even after publication in the journal. This policy allows authors to freely distribute their articles through electronic media and academic, personal, or institutional repositories without restrictions.

The journal actively encourages self-archiving and the dissemination of published content, as these practices enhance the visibility, academic impact, and citation of the works. Authors are encouraged to deposit their articles in recognized repositories such as Sherpa/Romeo, Dulcinea, Diadorim, as well as in university and subject-specific repositories, always maintaining a formal reference to the version published in the journal.

This policy aligns with Sage Sphere Higher Education’s commitment to open access and the long-term preservation of scientific knowledge, facilitating its free and equitable circulation on a global scale.
