Research Data & Open Access Policy

Research Data

The editorial board does not collect research data, and the submission of a research data management plan is not a mandatory requirement for the publication of an article.
By “research data” we mean factual materials recorded in the form of numerical values, text, graphics, or audio that the scientific community considers necessary for the evaluation of research results.
However, in certain cases, authors may be asked to provide research data, including after the publication of their article.

Archiving

All texts published in the journal are archived on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and in trusted external repositories that ensure the long-term preservation of publications.
The OJS system supports the OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) protocol for exporting metadata and integrating with international scholarly databases and search engines.

Archiving guarantees:

  • long-term open access to articles;

  • description of documents in accordance with international metadata standards (Dublin Core);

  • secure identification of publications through the assignment of DOI or other persistent identifiers;

  • the ability to download and disseminate files in various formats without loss of quality;

  • statistics on views and downloads of publications.

Licensing

All materials published in Lex Dogana are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.
This means that anyone may freely use, share, and reproduce the publication, provided that the author and the source are properly credited.

Open Access

The open access model applied by Lex Dogana ensures the absence of technical and legal barriers to the use of scientific materials made publicly available.
Such materials may be freely copied, shared, printed, and indexed, provided that copyright law and proper citation practices are observed.

The journal actively supports the development of open science and gives priority to the publication of research in open access, thereby promoting transparency, reproducibility, and the integration of research results into the global scientific community.
