Author Rights and Open Access Licensing
JNPP publishes with open access licensing that supports broad sharing while protecting author attribution and the integrity of the scholarly record. This page summarizes how copyright, reuse, and permissions are handled. Authors may share the final version on personal and institutional platforms.
Core Principles of the JNPP License
Our publishing license is designed to encourage lawful reuse, ensure proper attribution, and support long term accessibility across neuroscience and clinical communities. The license also supports compliance with common funder open access requirements.
Author Attribution and Credit
Authors retain scholarly credit for their work. Any reuse must include proper attribution to the original authors and the Journal of Nervous System and Physiological Phenomena. Accurate citation preserves the integrity of the scientific record.
Reuse With Responsible Conditions
Open access licensing permits sharing and reuse when appropriate attribution is provided. Users may build upon the work, provided the original source is clearly credited and any changes are noted.
Protection of the Published Record
Licensing does not allow misrepresentation of findings or removal of author credit. The published version is the record of reference and should be linked when reused in derivative works.
How Authors and Readers May Reuse Content
Open access licensing enables practical reuse in research, education, and clinical settings while preserving credit to the original authors.
Self Archiving and Repository Posting
Authors may share the published article on personal websites, institutional repositories, or scholarly networks with proper citation. This improves reach while keeping the published record intact.
Educational and Clinical Use
Educators and clinicians may use figures, tables, and excerpts for teaching and training with attribution. This supports translation of neuroscience research into practice and professional education.
Commercial and Derivative Use
Commercial reuse is permitted within license terms when proper attribution is provided and modifications are clearly indicated. If additional permissions are required for third party content, authors must secure them before publication.
How Licensing Works After Acceptance
Licensing is confirmed at acceptance and applied to the final published version.
Author Agreement
Authors confirm the publishing license at acceptance. This agreement describes reuse rights and clarifies how the final article can be shared.
Third Party Material Review
If the manuscript includes third party figures, tables, or copyrighted material, authors must provide permission or remove the content. This prevents legal barriers to open access sharing.
Publication and Distribution
Once published, the article is distributed under the stated license. Readers can access and reuse the work within the license terms without additional permission requests.
License Display and Metadata
The license is displayed on the article page and embedded in metadata so repositories and discovery services can identify reuse rights. This improves compliance and reduces uncertainty for downstream users.
