Data Archiving Permissions
Understanding your rights and options for sharing and archiving research published in JCAP.
Empowering Authors Through Open Access
JCAP supports open science principles by enabling authors to share, archive, and reuse their published work across multiple platforms.
Our policies promote maximum accessibility while protecting research integrity and ensuring proper attribution.
Upon publication in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, authors retain significant rights to their work under our open access model. We believe that accessible research accelerates scientific progress and improves outcomes for children and adolescents facing mental health challenges. Our permission framework empowers authors to maximize the impact of their contributions.
Self-Archiving Rights
Authors may deposit published articles in institutional repositories, personal websites, and academic networking platforms with proper attribution and DOI linking.
Preprint Compatibility
JCAP supports preprint posting. Authors may share preprint versions and update them to reference the final published article upon acceptance.
Educational Use
Published content may be used freely in educational settings, including classroom instruction, training programs, and academic presentations.
Funder Compliance
Our open access model supports compliance with major funder mandates requiring public access to research outputs.
Authors are encouraged to deposit their published work in institutional repositories and subject-specific archives. This expands discoverability and supports long-term preservation of pediatric mental health research. When depositing, please link to the version of record using the assigned DOI and include complete metadata.
Version guidance: For repository deposits, use the final published PDF (version of record) with proper citation formatting. Preprint versions should be clearly labeled and updated to reference the published article.
JCAP encourages authors to share underlying research data when ethically appropriate. For studies involving sensitive information about minors, we recognize that data sharing must balance transparency with privacy protection. Authors should include data availability statements describing what data can be shared and how it can be accessed.
- Anonymized datasets may be deposited in appropriate repositories
- Code and analysis scripts should be shared when possible
- Sensitive data involving minors requires careful privacy protection
- Data availability statements are required for all submissions
Research involving children and adolescents often generates sensitive data requiring careful handling. JCAP encourages data sharing while respecting privacy protections necessary for pediatric populations. Authors should describe anonymization procedures and access safeguards when applicable.
When using content from other sources, authors must secure appropriate permissions before submission. This includes figures, tables, and extended quotations from copyrighted materials. JCAP provides guidance on permission requests and documentation requirements during the submission process.
