Open Access and Licensing Policy

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License

All original materials published in Ecocene: Cappadocia Journal of Environmental Humanities (“Ecocene”) are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), unless otherwise stated.

The full terms of the CC BY 4.0 license are available at:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The CC BY 4.0 license permits anyone to share, copy, redistribute, adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the published work for any purpose, including commercial purposes, provided that the applicable license conditions are respected.

Copyright and Publishing Rights

Ecocene does not require authors to transfer or assign copyright in their articles to the Journal or to Cappadocia University Press.

The author(s) retain copyright in their work.

By accepting publication in Ecocene, the author(s) grant Cappadocia University Press and Ecocene a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to publish, reproduce, distribute, communicate, make available online, archive, preserve, index, and otherwise disseminate the Article in print, electronic, digital, and other formats.

This publication license does not prevent the author(s) or any other person from exercising the rights granted under CC BY 4.0.

Reuse and Redistribution

Anyone may reuse, reproduce, distribute, communicate, or adapt material published in Ecocene, including for commercial purposes, provided that such use complies with the terms of CC BY 4.0.

Users must provide appropriate attribution, including, where reasonably practicable:

  • the name(s) of the author(s);
  • the title of the work;
  • the original publication in Ecocene;
  • the relevant publication details and persistent identifier, where available;
  • a link to the CC BY 4.0 license; and
  • an indication of whether changes were made.

Users should not imply that the author(s), Ecocene, or Cappadocia University Press endorses their use of the work unless such endorsement has been expressly granted.

When sharing or redistributing the published Article, Ecocene recommends using the final version of record made publicly available on the Journal’s website, where available.

The CC BY 4.0 license does not apply automatically to third-party material included in an Article. Users are responsible for determining whether additional permission is required for the reuse of any material identified as being subject to third-party rights.

Author Reuse

Because copyright remains with the author(s) and the Article is published under CC BY 4.0, authors may freely reuse, reproduce, distribute, share, archive, adapt, and otherwise make use of their work, subject to the terms of the CC BY 4.0 license and any applicable third-party rights.

Authors may also enter into other agreements concerning their work, provided that such agreements do not purport to revoke, restrict, or invalidate rights that have already been granted to the public under CC BY 4.0.

Any subsequent publication or reuse of the Article should appropriately acknowledge its original publication in Ecocene.
