Copyright and Licensing Overview

All JPGR articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This license allows others to share and adapt your work with proper attribution, supporting broad dissemination and reuse.

Authors retain copyright to their work while granting JPGR the right to publish and distribute the article. The license ensures that your research can be accessed and cited globally.

What Authors Retain

• Copyright ownership of the published article
• The right to reuse figures, tables, and content in future works
• The ability to deposit the final article in institutional repositories
• Permission to share the article on personal or institutional websites

How Others May Reuse Your Work

Under CC BY 4.0, others may copy, redistribute, remix, and build upon the work for any purpose, including commercial use, provided proper credit is given.

This openness accelerates scientific progress and improves the visibility of proteomics and genomics research.

• Reuse must include appropriate attribution and citation
• Changes must be indicated when content is modified
• No additional restrictions may be applied beyond the license terms

Third Party Content and Permissions

If your manuscript includes third party content, obtain permission from the original rights holder and provide documentation. Clearly label any material that is not covered by the CC BY 4.0 license.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that permissions are secured before publication.

Attribution Format

Recommended attribution includes the article title, author names, journal name, year, and DOI. This ensures proper credit and citation tracking.

• Include the CC BY 4.0 license statement in reuse situations
• Link to the original article and DOI
• Note any changes made to the original work

Compliance with Funder Requirements

Many funders require open access and clear reuse terms. The CC BY 4.0 license supports compliance with these mandates and allows broad dissemination of molecular research.

Common Reuse Scenarios

CC BY 4.0 makes it easier to reuse content in teaching, clinical guidance, and industry collaboration. Reuse is permitted with proper attribution and transparency about modifications.

• Reuse figures in conference presentations with citation
• Incorporate data tables into systematic reviews with attribution
• Share translated summaries for regional dissemination

Sharing After Publication

Authors may share the final published version with colleagues, on institutional repositories, or on lab websites. This supports community visibility and helps collaborators find your work.

Use the DOI link in all sharing to maintain accurate citation tracking.

License Boundaries

While CC BY 4.0 allows broad reuse, it does not permit misrepresentation or removal of attribution. Users must keep the citation intact and note any adaptations.

JPGR encourages authors to monitor reuse and contact the editorial office if attribution standards are not respected.

Clear attribution protects both authors and readers from confusion.
