Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text articles in this journal without seeking prior permission from the publisher or author, as long as the original author is acknowledged as stated in the CC BY-SA 4.0 license from Creative Commons.

Open Access and Citation Standards IJECOMBA complies with I4OC standards (Initiative for Open Citations). This means that all content is freely available to users or institutions. This journal also supports the Initiative for Open Citation, which aims to make not only full-text articles accessible to the public but the references within them equally valuable for publication.

The real form of the publisher's participation is by sending article references via Crossref. By applying open access, we ensure that the scientific community and the general public have unrestricted access to scholarly research, facilitating education, innovation, and economic development.
