Copyright & Archiving

The Yearbook of UNWE is a Diamond Open Access journal. All content is freely and immediately accessible to the public.

• No Fees: Authors are not charged article processing charges (APCs), and readers do not pay subscription fees.
• Licensing: All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Archiving Policy

To guarantee the long-term preservation of the scholarly record, Yearbook of UNWE uses the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a LOCKSS-based archive independent of the journal's infrastructure. Publications are additionally deposited in OpenAIRE, openly accessible in institutional repositories and recognised indexing databases, and form part of the Bulgarian Open Science Portal. Full-text PDFs are also mirrored in the UNWE publication repository.
