Licensing Policy

The International Bulletin of History and Social Science publishes all accepted articles under an open and transparent licensing framework to promote global access to scholarly knowledge. Unless otherwise stated, the journal typically uses the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, which allows readers to share, distribute, and adapt the published work, provided proper credit is given to the original authors and the journal. Authors retain copyright to their work while granting the journal the right to publish and archive the material in its online platforms and indexing services. This licensing approach ensures the widest possible dissemination of research while protecting the intellectual rights of authors. By submitting a manuscript, authors agree to the journal’s licensing conditions and acknowledge that their work may be shared under the selected open-access license.
