Your Rights as an Author at Koozakar

Understanding your ownership, licensing, and creative freedom when publishing with us.

KOOZAKAR PUBLISHING CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

At Koozakar, we believe that authors are the architects of knowledge. Our policies are designed to protect your intellectual property while ensuring your research reaches the widest possible audience.

1. Copyright Retention

Unlike traditional publishing models, authors at Koozakar **retain full copyright** of their work. You remain the owner of your research, allowing you to reuse, redistribute, and build upon your findings without seeking permission from the publisher.

2. Creative Commons Licensing

Koozakar journals primarily operate under the **Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0)**. This license allows others to share and adapt your work for any purpose, even commercially, provided they give you appropriate credit. This maximizes the visibility and impact of your research.

3. Self-Archiving Rights

Authors have the right to deposit any version of their manuscript (preprint, accepted version, or published version) in institutional repositories, subject-specific archives, or personal websites. This supports global open-access initiatives and increases citation potential.

4. Use of AI Tools Disclosure

Koozakar supports the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in research. Authors have the right to use AI tools for data analysis, language improvement, or literature review; however, this usage must be explicitly disclosed in the methodology or acknowledgments section. Human authors maintain full responsibility for the accuracy and originality of the content.

5. Freedom to Withdraw

Authors maintain the right to withdraw their manuscript at any stage of the pre-publication process. We respect your autonomy as a researcher and provide clear guidelines for withdrawal, ensuring your work is handled with care and professional courtesy.

6. Recognition and Citation

Koozakar ensures that your work is properly indexed (Crossref, Google Scholar, etc.) and assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This guarantees that your contributions are easily discoverable and correctly cited by the global academic community.

By publishing with Koozakar, you aren't just submitting a paper; you are entering a partnership that respects your rights and values your voice.
