Copyright ownership of each published article is governed by the publication agreement established between the authors and the publisher.

Authors are responsible for the originality and lawful use of all materials included in their manuscripts, including text, tables, figures, illustrations, research instruments, datasets, and other supporting content.
Any materials reproduced or adapted from third-party sources must be properly acknowledged and accompanied by the necessary permissions whenever required by the relevant copyright holders.
Authors must ensure that all copyright-related requirements have been fulfilled before submitting their manuscripts for publication.
3. Publication Rights
By accepting the applicable publication agreement, authors grant the publisher the necessary rights to publish, distribute, archive, and make their articles publicly accessible through the journal's electronic publishing platform.
These publication rights enable the BISECER to disseminate scholarly works, maintain electronic publication records, and ensure the accessibility of published research.
The scope of rights granted to the publisher, as well as the rights retained by the authors concerning the reuse, distribution, and sharing of their works, shall be determined by the applicable publication agreement and the journal's licensing provisions.
All arrangements concerning publication rights must be consistent with the relevant copyright regulations and the licensing terms established by the journal.
4. Open Access Policy
BISECER adopts an open-access publishing policy to facilitate the unrestricted accessibility and dissemination of published scientific research.
All published articles are made freely accessible to readers through the journal's official website without requiring payment of access fees or subscription charges.
Readers may access, read, and download published articles without financial barriers.
The implementation of this open-access policy aims to enhance the dissemination of research findings, increase the visibility and accessibility of scholarly publications, encourage the broader utilization of scientific knowledge, and support the open exchange of academic information.
Through open-access publishing, the journal seeks to contribute to the advancement of research, innovation, and technological development in civil engineering and related disciplines.
5. Article Licensing and Reuse
The reuse of articles published in the BISECER is governed by the Creative Commons license or other licensing terms officially specified in the journal's licensing policy and on the respective article pages.
The rights granted to readers and other users to reproduce, distribute, translate, adapt, share, or otherwise reuse published works depend on the specific licensing conditions applicable to each article.
All forms of reuse must comply with the relevant license requirements, including proper attribution, acknowledgment of the original authors, citation of the publication source, and any additional conditions established by the applicable license.
Users are responsible for reviewing and complying with the licensing information associated with each article before reproducing, redistributing, or adapting its content.
The journal encourages the responsible and ethical reuse of scholarly publications while respecting the intellectual property rights of authors and other copyright holders.

The BISECER supports the preservation and long-term archiving of scholarly publications to ensure the continued availability, accessibility, and integrity of published articles.
Published articles may be stored, preserved, and distributed through institutional repositories, digital archives, or other recognized scholarly preservation systems, provided that such activities comply with the applicable publication agreements and licensing conditions.
Authors and readers are encouraged to use the appropriate version of each published article and to provide complete bibliographic information when sharing, depositing, or citing scholarly works.
Whenever available, the article's Digital Object Identifier (DOI) should be included to facilitate accurate identification, citation, and access to the official publication record.
The journal recognizes the importance of digital preservation in maintaining the continuity, reliability, and accessibility of scholarly knowledge for future research and academic reference.
7. Publication Fees
The implementation of an open-access publishing policy does not necessarily mean that all stages of the manuscript submission, editorial processing, and publication process are free of charge.
Information regarding manuscript submission fees, article processing charges (APCs), publication fees, or other applicable charges is provided separately and transparently through the Author Fees section of the journal's official website.
Authors are encouraged to review the relevant fee policies before submitting their manuscripts.
The payment of publication fees, where applicable, does not guarantee manuscript acceptance and must not influence the independence, objectivity, or integrity of the peer-review and editorial decision-making processes.
All editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, originality, methodological quality, relevance to the journal's scope, and compliance with established publication ethics standards.
8. Responsibilities and Dispute Resolution
Any suspected copyright infringement, unauthorized use of intellectual property, or improper reproduction or distribution of copyrighted materials may be reported to the editorial management of the BISECER.
All reports will be evaluated based on the available evidence, applicable copyright laws and regulations, relevant publication agreements, and the journal's established publication ethics policies.
The editorial team may request additional information, supporting documentation, or clarification from the parties concerned to ensure that reported issues are assessed fairly and objectively.
Where necessary, the journal may implement appropriate corrective measures, including the publication of corrections, restrictions on the use or distribution of specific materials, or other editorial actions based on the findings of the investigation.
The BISECER is committed to protecting intellectual property rights, promoting responsible open-access publishing, maintaining transparency in copyright and licensing practices, and ensuring the ethical dissemination of scientific research.
