Open Access Statement

Insights in Sustainable Engineering Practices (ISEP) is a fully open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research and innovative practices in sustainable engineering. We focus on solutions that address environmental challenges, promote resource efficiency, and advance the principles of sustainable development across all engineering disciplines. We believe that achieving global sustainability goals requires the immediate and unrestricted sharing of knowledge across the global scientific, engineering, and policy community.

Our Open Access Commitment:

  • Immediate and Permanent Free Access: All articles are published online and made freely available to readers immediately upon publication. No subscriptions, no paywalls, and no embargo periods apply. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. Every research article, review, case study, and technical note is accessible to engineers, researchers, educators, students, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide without financial or institutional barriers.

  • Creative Commons License: Every article is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) : https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. This license permits anyone to share, copy, redistribute, adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the material for any lawful purpose, including commercial use, provided that proper attribution is given to the original authors and Insights in Sustainable Engineering Practices (ISEP).

  • Authors Retain Copyright: Authors hold full copyright to their scholarly work. ISEP receives a non-exclusive license to publish and distribute the article under the open-access terms described above, ensuring authors retain control over their intellectual property while maximizing dissemination.

  • Advancing Sustainable Solutions: Authors are encouraged to deposit their published articles in institutional repositories, personal websites, and academic networks to ensure that insights in sustainable engineering practices reach colleagues across disciplines and borders, fostering innovation, collaboration, and real-world application of sustainable engineering solutions.

This policy ensures that research in sustainable engineering achieves maximum visibility, impact, and contribution to global sustainability efforts.
