Copyright and Licensing

SOCIOVENT — Journal of Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Every case published in SOCIOVENT began as knowledge rooted in a community — a school, a neighbourhood, a group of people solving a shared problem together. Our licensing policy is built to keep that knowledge moving in the same direction it came from: back out into public use, freely, with credit intact.

Accordingly, all articles in this journal are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0).

What This Means in Practice

●      Reuse freely — copy, share, and redistribute an article in any format or medium.

●      Build on it — adapt, translate, or develop the work further — including for commercial purposes — as long as the conditions below are met.

●      Keep it open — any adapted or derivative work must carry forward the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so the openness SOCIOVENT starts with is never closed off downstream.

●      Credit the source — give appropriate credit to the original author(s), link back to the license, and note any changes made — without implying the author or journal endorses your use.

Who Holds the Copyright

Authors retain full copyright over their own work. Publishing in SOCIOVENT grants the journal the right of first publication only — it does not transfer ownership. Authors are free to archive, share, or repost their accepted work elsewhere, provided the original publication in SOCIOVENT is acknowledged.

No Added Restrictions

SOCIOVENT does not layer any paywall, embargo, or technical barrier on top of what CC BY-SA 4.0 already allows. If the license permits it, no one — including the journal — may block it.
