    Reproduction and Copyright Requests
    Authors retain copyright of their work published in SEI. Authors may reuse their articles (e.g., as part of a thesis, book chapter, or teaching material) provided that proper credit is given to SEI as the original publisher.

    Formal permission for reproduction is not required under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. However, we encourage notifying the authors in case of reuse for transparency and scholarly integrity.

    Plagiarism and Ethical Publishing Standards
    SEI maintains strict ethical standards and actively combats academic misconduct, including plagiarism.

We cooperate closely with academic institutions in Azerbaijan to strengthen our plagiarism control mechanisms.
