International Journal of Contemporary Impediments in Commerce and Management is committed to maintaining a clear and transparent copyright and licensing policy for all published articles. The journal supports responsible sharing, proper attribution, and ethical use of scholarly work.
Copyright Ownership: Authors retain the full copyright of their published work. By submitting a manuscript to the journal, authors grant the journal the right to publish, distribute, archive, and make the article permanently available online for academic and research purposes. Authors remain solely responsible for the originality and accuracy of the content published.
Articles published in the journal may be freely shared, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed, or linked for lawful academic and research purposes, provided that proper credit is given to the original author(s), article title, journal name, volume, issue, and complete citation details.
Users must not use the published content in a misleading, unethical, or unlawful manner. Published content must never be misrepresented as someone else’s original work. Unauthorized reproduction or improper attribution will be treated as a strict violation of copyright and publication ethics.
Authors must guarantee that any third-party material used in the manuscript—including images, tables, figures, graphs, data, photographs, or questionnaires—has been integrated with proper written permission and explicit attribution.
If formal copyright clearance is required from the original holder, it remains the absolute responsibility of the author to secure such releases prior to submission. The journal will not participate in or be held liable for copyright disputes arising from unauthorized third-party content integration.
If any copyright violation, unauthorized borrowing, or ownership dispute is identified before or after publication, the editorial board will initiate necessary actions based on the severity of the case. This includes requesting mandatory formal clarification from authors, publishing corrigenda corrections, enforcing temporary manuscript withdrawals, or initiating full electronic retractions of published content.
International Journal of Contemporary Impediments in Commerce and Management deeply respects the intellectual property rights of authors, researchers, institutions, and parallel publishers. The journal actively drives the responsible use of published assets and supports transparent, highly ethical academic communication networks through uniform citation frameworks, explicit acknowledgements, and open science licensing architectures.
