Quick Summary (What This Means for Authors)

You keep copyright

The copyright of the published article remains with the corresponding author(s). The publisher does not claim ownership.

Global visibility

Open licensing allows readers to access, share, and cite your work more easily—helping accelerate scholarly impact.

Attribution is required

Reuse must credit the author(s) and the original publication, and include the license link—this protects your contribution.

Ethical reuse only

Readers may not copy content into new manuscripts without proper citation, nor misrepresent your work as their own.

License Used by JBRES

JBRES supports Creative Commons licensing to ensure transparent reuse permissions. The primary license reference is: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). Depending on journal policy or article type, a non-commercial clause may also apply. If you need clarity before submission, contact: support@jelsciences.com.

You are free to

  • Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.
  • Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material.
  • Distribute — include in teaching, presentations, or scholarly materials with proper attribution.
  • Preserve — store in repositories and personal/institutional archives.

Under these terms

  • Attribution — give appropriate credit, cite the article, and link to the license.
  • Indicate changes — if modified, clearly state what was changed.
  • No endorsement — reuse must not imply author/journal endorsement.
  • No additional restrictions — do not apply legal/technical barriers limiting permitted reuse.
How to cite properly: If you reuse any figure, table, or statement, cite the original JBRES article and include the DOI link. For extensive reuse (e.g., full figures/tables), we recommend also notifying the corresponding author.

Reader Reuse Guidelines (To Protect Authors)

Why This Matters for Authors

Open-access licensing is not just a legal statement—it is a strategic advantage for authors. A clear license improves distribution through libraries, repositories, and search engines, and it enables other researchers to build upon your work ethically. With DOI-based citation and open sharing, your article can reach clinicians, policymakers, educators, and researchers without barriers.
