Copyright & Licensing

Open Access

OmegAlpha is an open access journal. All articles are available online immediately upon publication, free of charge and without registration, and may be read, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed, searched, linked to, and reused under the terms of their Creative Commons license, which is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) unless another Creative Commons license is stated in the article.

Copyright

Authors retain copyright in their contributions and grant the publishers a non-exclusive right to publish them in print and online and to distribute them through indexing and archiving services. Editors retain copyright in their editorials and, for items in the Documents section, in their own editorial work (introductions, comments, transcriptions, and translations) on the same terms; the archival documents and photographs themselves remain subject to the rights of their holders (see Third-Party and Archival Material). Previously unpublished texts by Metropolitan John Zizioulas are © John Zizioulas Foundation; texts that were published before are republished with the permission of their rights holders and carry their copyright notice. All other content, including the journal’s design and logo, is © John Zizioulas Foundation, St. Sebastian Orthodox Press, and Volos Academy for Theological Studies, unless otherwise indicated, with all rights reserved.

Licensing

Creative Commons licenses apply only to material expressly marked with a license notice, which appears on the article page and on the first page of the article PDF. All contributions, of every type and in every section, are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), unless another Creative Commons license is stated in the contribution: editorials, texts in the Theological Heritage section, commentaries, research articles, reviews of every kind (book reviews, review essays, and conference reviews), items in the Documents section, and contributions of any other type that the journal publishes. This license permits sharing and adaptation for any purpose, provided that the author and the original publication in OmegAlpha (with DOI) are credited, a link to the license is given, and any changes are indicated. Material without a license notice may be used only within the limits permitted by law, such as quotation for scholarly purposes, or with written permission.

Third-Party and Archival Material

Photographs, images, letters, and other archival documents remain subject to the rights of their respective holders and are excluded from the Creative Commons license of the contribution in which they appear, unless expressly stated otherwise; their source and, where it has been obtained, the permission of the rights holder are indicated in the accompanying credit lines. Every effort has been made to identify rights holders; any holder who has not been properly credited is invited to contact the editors.

Self-Archiving

Authors may share the submitted manuscript as a preprint at any time; they should inform the editors of any preprint, since it may reveal their identity to reviewers. Authors may deposit any version of their article (the submitted manuscript, the accepted manuscript, or the published PDF) in institutional or subject repositories and on personal websites, without embargo, provided that the original publication in OmegAlpha is cited with its DOI once the article is published.
