2. License: To facilitate open access dissemination, JINTAN typically applies a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND) license to its published articles. The CC BY NC ND license allows users to freely share, copy, distribute, transmit, and adapt the published work, provided proper attribution is given to the authors and the journal (with a link to the formal publication through the relevant DOI), provides a link to the license, and that the licensor is not represented as endorsing the use made of the work.

Open access increases the visibility and accessibility of research articles, making them more discoverable by researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the general public. It promotes collaboration, enables the reuse of research findings, and facilitates the advancement of knowledge in the field of agricultural sciences.
4. Sustainability and Funding: To support the open-access publication model, JINTAN may adopt various funding models. This can include article processing charges (APCs) that are levied on authors or institutions to cover the costs of editorial processes, peer review, production, and ongoing maintenance of the journal's infrastructure. The specific funding details and any applicable fees are clearly communicated to authors and readers.
5. Archiving and Preservation:  JINTAN recognizes the importance of the long-term preservation of research articles. The journal takes measures to ensure the archiving and digital preservation of its published content, utilizing established digital repositories or archives.
