Copyright & Licensing

The International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility and Management  supports responsible dissemination of scholarly research while respecting the intellectual property rights of authors and third parties.

1. Copyright

Authors retain copyright in their original work unless otherwise stated in the journal's publishing agreement. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that:

  • The work is original and has not been published elsewhere.
  • They have the necessary rights and permissions for all third-party material included in the manuscript.
  • The manuscript does not infringe the copyright or other intellectual property rights of others.

2. Author Rights

Authors retain the right to use their published work for legitimate academic and educational purposes, subject to the applicable publishing and licensing terms.

Authors may share their work with colleagues, use it for teaching and research, and include it in institutional or academic repositories where permitted by the applicable license.

3. Open-Access Licensing

Articles published by IJCSRM may be made available under an open-access license that permits readers to access, use, share, and reproduce the work subject to the conditions of the applicable license.

Where a specific Creative Commons license is used, the exact license and its terms should be stated clearly on the individual article and journal website.

4. Third-Party Materials

Authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate permission to reproduce copyrighted material—including figures, tables, photographs, charts, or substantial extracts—where such permission is required.

Third-party material may be subject to licensing terms different from those applying to the article as a whole.

5. Proper Attribution

Any reuse, redistribution, adaptation, or reproduction of a published article must provide appropriate credit to the original authors and source, together with any other attribution or licensing requirements.

6. Copyright Infringement

If the journal receives a credible copyright complaint concerning a published article, the editorial team may investigate the matter and take appropriate action, which may include requesting clarification, publishing a correction, restricting access to specific material, or retracting the article when warranted.
