Open Access Licensing
Open access statement
Solar Cell Insights is a fully open-access journal. All articles are freely available to read, download and share from the moment of publication. There is no subscription, no paywall, and no embargo period. Readers do not need to register to read an article.
Copyright
Authors retain copyright in their work. Publication in Solar Cell Insights does not transfer copyright to the publisher. Authors grant the journal the right of first publication.
Licence
Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0). This means anyone may copy, redistribute, adapt and build upon the work, including commercially, provided the original authors and source are credited and any changes are indicated. The licence is stated on every article page and in the article metadata.
Author rights and self-archiving
Authors may deposit the submitted, accepted and published versions of their article in any repository — institutional, subject-based or personal — at any time, with no embargo. We ask only that the deposited version links to the published article by DOI.
Reuse of third-party material
Where a manuscript reproduces a figure, table or extended quotation from another source, it is the author's responsibility to obtain permission for reuse under the journal's licence and to provide the correct attribution. Material that cannot be licensed compatibly must be redrawn or removed.
Machine-readable licensing
The licence URL is placed in the article metadata and in the Crossref deposit, so that funder compliance tools and DOAJ can read it automatically. This is handled natively once the licence is configured under Settings → Distribution.
