Reuse of an article

CC BY 4.0 permits sharing and adaptation, including commercial reuse, provided the user gives appropriate credit, supplies a link to the licence and indicates changes. Cite the authors, article title, journal and publication details, and include the DOI or journal URL where available.

Attribution should identify an adaptation or translation and distinguish it from the original published text. Reuse should preserve information that allows readers to locate the source and understand its publication status. Consult the licence text for its full terms.

Rights retained by authors

Authors may share their article with colleagues, use it in teaching and deposit versions in repositories. Include the published citation and link when available. The Open Access Policy explains deposit and access.

Copyright ownership does not remove an author’s responsibility to secure permission for material created by another person. Confirm rights for illustrations, artwork, substantial quotations, recordings and other reused content during preparation.

Third-party material

A credit line can identify an image or other component excluded from the article’s CC BY licence. Users should check that line and seek permission from the relevant rights holder when their intended reuse is not covered.

Authors should supply permission records and the wording of required credits. Explain any restriction that affects open-access publication to the editor before acceptance.

The published record

Corrections and retractions form part of the article’s publication history. When sharing a deposited copy, link to any notice that affects it and identify the version accurately.
