Open Access Policy

JTIT provides immediate, open access to the publications it offers, as its authors believe that providing the public with free access to research outcomes supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Author rights

The authors retain the following rights:
• copyright, and other proprietary rights in the article, such as patent rights,
• the right to use the article in their own future work, including in lectures and books,
• the right to reproduce the article for their own purposes, under reserve that its copies are not offered for sale,
• the right to self-archive the article,
• the right to exercise supervision over the integrity of their work and its fair use.

No permission is required for transitory or incidental reproduction of works, provided that such reproduction has no independent economic significance but constitutes an integral and fundamental part of a manufacturing process the sole purpose of which is to enable:
• transmission of the work between third parties, through a data transmission system, by an intermediary, or
• the work to be used in compliance with applicable laws.

Research and educational institutions may, for the purposes of teaching or conducting their own research, use the works published, in their original language and translated versions, and may prepare, for this purpose, copies of fragments of the disseminated works.

Libraries, archives and schools may:

1. provide free access to copies of disseminated works, in accordance with the scope of their statutory tasks;
2. create copies of disseminated works, or have such copies created for them, in order to supplement them, as well as to maintain or protect their own collections;
3. make their collections available for research or learning purposes, via IT terminals located on their premises.

Under the laws in force, the term “disseminated work” means a piece of work which has been made available to the public, in any way whatsoever, based on the permission issued by its author.
