Announcement on the Adoption of the License to Publish Agreement (LTP)

The Journal of Science and Science Education (JSSE) is pleased to announce that, effective 4 August 2026, the journal has revised its copyright and licensing policy to align with international best practices for open-access scholarly publishing.

Accordingly, the journal has replaced the Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) with a License to Publish Agreement (LTP).

Under the revised policy:

• Authors retain the copyright to their published work.

• Authors grant JSSE a non-exclusive license to publish, reproduce, archive, and distribute their articles in print and electronic formats.

• All published articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License.

This policy change does not affect the ownership of authors' intellectual property. Instead, it strengthens the journal's commitment to international publishing standards while promoting wider dissemination and accessibility of scholarly research through open access.

Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will be required to complete and sign the License to Publish Agreement (LTP) before their articles are published.

The Editorial Board sincerely appreciates the continued trust and support of our authors and looks forward to publishing high-quality scholarly research under this updated policy.
