License & Copyright

Mitra Teras: Jurnal Terapan Pengabdian Masyarakat allows the author(s) to retain full copyright without restrictions and grants the author(s) the right to retain publishing rights without limitations. The journal adopts a CC-BY (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License) or an equivalent license, which is considered the optimal license for the publication, distribution, use, and reuse of scholarly work.

In developing strategy and setting priorities, Mitra Teras recognizes that free access is better than priced access, libre access is better than free access, and libre under CC-BY or an equivalent license is better than libre under more restrictive open licenses. The goal is to achieve free access whenever possible and to ensure that we do not delay achieving free access in pursuit of more complex licensing solutions. We strive for libre access under the most permissive terms available.
