These terms explain the use of the Uncertainty Discourse and Applications (UDA) website, operated by Research Expansion Alliance (REA Press). They distinguish the rights attached to scholarly articles from those attached to the website and its branding.

Access and reuse of articles

Published UDA articles are freely accessible without a subscription or registration to read them. Authors retain copyright, or another lawful rights holder is identified where applicable. Article reuse is governed by the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence and any clearly marked third-party exclusions. The journal's Open Access Policy explains the publishing and sharing arrangements.

CC BY 4.0 permits sharing and adaptation, including commercial reuse, with appropriate credit, a licence link, and an indication of changes. It does not imply endorsement by authors, UDA, or REA Press. Other rights, including privacy and rights in separately identified material, may require additional permission. Nothing in these website terms withdraws permissions already granted under an applicable open licence or limits lawful exceptions.

Website and branding

The article licence does not automatically extend to the REA Press name and logos, website design, or third-party assets. Use of those elements depends on their applicable rights and permissions. Identifying UDA accurately as the source of an article does not imply permission to present an unrelated service or publication as an official REA Press activity.

Responsible access and accounts

Use the website lawfully and respect the security and availability of the service. Do not attempt unauthorised access, compromise accounts, distribute malicious material, or interfere with other users. Protect account credentials and provide accurate information in submissions and correspondence. Reading open-access articles does not require an account.

Lawful indexing, text and data mining, downloading, and other reuse permitted by the article licence remain allowed. Automated access must respect reasonable technical safeguards protecting service stability; such safeguards do not impose additional restrictions on the licensed reuse of articles.

Publication records and external resources

Cite the published article record and consult any linked correction, expression of concern, or retraction notice when assessing its status. Research findings are those of their authors and require evaluation in their scientific context. Links to external resources are provided for reference; those services have their own terms and privacy practices.

Privacy and editorial policies

Personal information is handled under the Privacy Statement. Submissions, peer review, authorship, and publication decisions are governed by the journal's published editorial policies, including the Publication Ethics Statement. Complaints and appeals follow the Complaints and Appeals procedure.
