Copyright Policy

During the submission process, authors are required to sign a "Copyright Transfer and Publication Agreement" with the journal. Once the manuscript is accepted, this agreement immediately takes effect. Under the terms of this agreement, all authors agree to transfer the full copyright of both the article and any figures, tables, abstracts or other extractable parts of the article to the editorial department of Energy Environmental Protection (the rights to transfer include, but are not limited to, the rights of reproduction, distribution, information network dissemination, performance, translation, compilation, and adaption). After publication, the copyright will belong to the journal's editorial department.

If the manuscript is rejected after review, the agreement will automatically become void, and the copyright remains with the authors.

The copyright transfer fee is included in the remuneration paid by the journal and will not be paid separately.

Rights of Authors

After publication in the journal, the author(s) of the article will have the following rights:

(1) The author(s) may use the article under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license.

(2) The author(s) may use the article and its layout when compiling personal works (including online works) or collections, but must indicate that the article was originally published in this journal.
