The journal is committed to promoting the unrestricted dissemination of scientific knowledge while protecting authors' intellectual property rights and ensuring appropriate attribution of published scholarly works.

This Copyright Notice and Licensing Policy defines the copyright ownership, publication rights, licensing conditions, and permitted use of articles published in JoSSEd.

1. Copyright Ownership

Authors who publish in JoSSEd retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Copyright ownership remains with the authors, and publication in the journal does not constitute a transfer of copyright ownership to the publisher.

Authors grant JoSSEd the non-exclusive right of first publication and the right to publish, reproduce, distribute, and make the accepted article publicly available under the journal's applicable open-access license.

Authors remain responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are original and do not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties.

2. Open Access Licensing

Articles published in JoSSEd are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Under this license, readers and other users may copy, distribute, reproduce, adapt, translate, and build upon published articles for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, provided that appropriate credit is given to the original authors, a link to the license is provided, and any changes made are clearly indicated.

Users must not imply that the original authors or JoSSEd endorse their use or adaptation of the published material.

3. Right of First Publication

Authors grant JoSSEd the right of first publication of accepted manuscripts. This authorization permits the journal to publish the final version of record, assign and register relevant publication metadata, and disseminate the article through its official website and scholarly indexing or discovery services.

The right of first publication does not prevent authors from exercising their retained copyright or from reusing their work in accordance with the applicable Creative Commons license.

4. Authors' Rights

Authors retain the right to use and disseminate their published work, including the following activities:

• Sharing the published article through personal websites, institutional repositories, and academic platforms.
• Using the article for teaching, academic presentations, and scholarly communication.
• Including the article in theses, dissertations, or other academic works, with appropriate acknowledgement.
• Reusing or adapting portions of the article in subsequent scholarly publications.
• Distributing the published version of record with appropriate citation and attribution.
• Entering into additional non-exclusive distribution arrangements consistent with the journal's publication rights and licensing conditions.

Authors are encouraged to include a complete bibliographic citation and a link to the original JoSSEd publication whenever they redistribute or reuse their published work.

5. Readers' Rights and Reuse of Published Content

In accordance with the CC BY 4.0 license, readers, researchers, educators, and other users may access, download, copy, share, redistribute, translate, and adapt articles published in JoSSEd without requesting additional permission from the authors or publisher, provided that the license conditions are satisfied.

Appropriate attribution should include the authors' names, article title, journal name, publication details, DOI or original publication link where available, and an indication of any modifications made.

Third-party materials included in an article may be subject to separate copyright or licensing conditions when explicitly indicated. Users are responsible for obtaining additional permission where required for materials not covered by the article's Creative Commons license.

6. Self-Archiving and Repository Policy

JoSSEd supports author self-archiving and the dissemination of scholarly research through institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal websites, and other appropriate academic platforms.

Authors may deposit and share the published version of record in accordance with the applicable open-access license. Authors are encouraged to provide the original citation and a persistent link to the article on the JoSSEd website.

No additional embargo period is imposed by this policy on the sharing of articles published under CC BY 4.0.

7. Third-Party Copyright and Permissions

Authors are responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions before including copyrighted materials owned by third parties, such as figures, photographs, illustrations, tables, datasets, or substantial excerpts from previously published works.

All third-party materials must be appropriately acknowledged and cited. Where such materials are excluded from the article's Creative Commons license, the relevant copyright ownership and reuse restrictions must be clearly identified.

The inclusion of third-party material in a JoSSEd article does not automatically transfer copyright or grant unrestricted reuse rights over that material.
