Open Access and Data Archiving Policy

Open access and archiving policy of a scientific journal
«Applied questions of mathematical modelling»

The journal's archiving and long-term Open Access preservation policy is based on the principles of open science and FAIR principles to increase reproducibility, citation, and long-term preservation of research results. The journal operates under the Creative Commons Attribution International CC-BY license, which allows the use of published materials provided that the author and source of information are cited.

Articles are provided with permanent digital identifiers (DOIs) via Crossref, which guarantees link stability, correct citation, integration with international scientometric databases, and long-term identification of publications regardless of changes in the web address. Article metadata is transferred to Crossref in a standardized format.

Electronic versions of articles are stored in PDF format, which ensures the integrity of the document structure, display stability and compatibility with long-term archiving. Official PDF versions are placed on the journal website as the main source of publication, and are also duplicated on the official website of the founding university within its institutional web environment and, with the consent of the authors, in the university repository. Dual placement guarantees backup storage and continuity of access in the event of technical failures or termination of the functioning of one of the platforms.

The servers hosting the electronic archives of articles are supported by system backups, regular software updates, and data integrity monitoring. Periodic backups are provided and stored on independent media or in separate server environments of the university.

Access to materials is open, free, and perpetual: users have the right to read, download, and cite publications provided that the source and DOI are properly referenced.

Terms of use of copyrighted materials

Submission of a manuscript to the editorial office of the scientific journal "Visnyk of Kherson National Technical University" requires that the authors confirm their authorship, the originality of the submitted material, and the absence of violation of the rights of third parties. In the event of acceptance of the article for publication, the authors conclude an author's agreement with the publisher (licensee), according to which they grant the licensee the right to use the work under the terms of a non-exclusive license.

According to the terms of the copyright agreement, the authors grant the licensee the right to reproduce, publish, distribute, translate (if necessary), make the work publicly available via the Internet, include it in electronic databases, and use it in other forms necessary for the publication, distribution, and popularization of scientific material. The transferred rights are used exclusively for scientific, educational, and informational purposes within the scope of the journal's activities.

Authors retain personal non-property rights to the work, including the right of authorship, the right to the name, and the right to the inviolability of the work. The transfer of rights under the copyright agreement does not limit the ability of authors to use the results of their own research in further scientific, educational, or professional activities with a mandatory reference to the original source of publication in the journal.

The publisher allows authors to place published materials or their final author versions in institutional repositories, on the official websites of the institutions where the authors work, as well as in non-commercial scientific electronic archives and databases. When placing such materials, authors are obliged to indicate the full bibliographic data of the publication in the journal, including the title of the journal, year of publication, issue number and digital identifier DOI.

The editorial board of the journal reserves the right to carry out literary and technical editing of the text, without changing the content of the scientific results and conclusions of the authors. All other methods of using materials not provided for by the copyright agreement or current copyright legislation require separate approval from the copyright holder.
