Type of  licensing for copyrighted objects 

For the Biotechnologia Acta journal, there is a licensing policy for copyrighted material, which is designated as Open Access. It means the following: authors retain copyright to their works, but give the journal the right to publish and expand them; any user can freely read, load, copy, expand, manipulate, and adapt the materials from the mind of the obligatory sender to the primary source. This guarantees maximum transparency and ensures the integration of tracking results into the scientific world. This approach is consistent with international standards of insight and academic integrity, as well as the journal's policy of promoting proprietary science. 

The motto of the journal Biotechnologia Acta is to provide preliminary research information and data, preserve maximum clarity, and adhere to established international publishing standards.

Publication in the Biotechnologia Acta  journal meets the following conditions: 

The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant to all contributors a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, permanent right of access and a license to copy, revise, distribute, transmit and publicly display the work, as well as creation and distribution of similar works in any digital form for any kind of copyright due credit, as well as the rights to create other copies for a special use.

The latest version of the work and all supporting materials, including a copy of the permission, as indicated above, are saved in a suitable standard electronic format immediately after the initial publication in one online repository, which is subject to academic regulations, scientific partnerships, administrative regulations, or other well-established organizations, for the possibility of continuous dissemination, interaction, long-term archiving of the journal.

In fact, we respect that our policy of open access brings value to Biotechnologia Acta  and the current research partnership, allowing our researchers to share their work freely and not allowing Biotechnologia Acta  to create an externally comprehensive and more accessible collection of our publications.
