Copyright Policy (Non-Exclusive Publishing Agreement)
JEES follows a non-exclusive publishing agreement: the journal retains the right of first publication, while authors retain full copyright.

Users may use, reproduce, disseminate, or display the articles—including for commercial purposes—so long as proper attribution to the authors and JEES is given.

Third-Party Content and Trademarks
The mention of trade names, trademarks, or general descriptive names does not imply the absence of legal protection. For third-party materials included in a manuscript, authors must ensure permissions are compatible with CC BY 4.0 or provide clear notices of any restrictions; journal layout elements, logos, and marks are excluded from the CC license.

Author Responsibility
Authors are encouraged to be familiar with the CC BY 4.0 framework, including attribution practices, reuse conditions, and boundaries for third-party content. Authors are responsible for the legal and ethical compliance of all materials and must supply permission documentation when required.
