Author rights and open access reuse
Open access licensing protects author rights while enabling lawful reuse with attribution.
License terms are stated in the published article.
Author Rights
Authors typically retain copyright and grant the journal a publishing license so the article can be distributed and preserved.
Reuse is permitted when proper attribution is provided and the original work is not misrepresented.
- Cite the original authors and article title
- Link to the published article and license terms
- Indicate if any changes were made
License Overview
Open access articles are published under a license stated within the final article. The license defines how others may share, adapt, or reuse the work with proper attribution.
Authors should review license terms at acceptance to ensure compliance with funder and institutional requirements.
Third Party Content
Authors are responsible for permissions to reuse images, figures, or datasets owned by others. Provide documentation for third party content.
If permission is not granted, replace third party content with original materials or alternatives compatible with open access licensing.
Sharing and Compliance
Authors may share the published article on personal or institutional pages and deposit versions in repositories, subject to license terms.
Commercial reuse may require additional permission depending on the license. Provide intended use details for guidance.
Deposit and Reuse
Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published article in institutional or subject repositories with the DOI and full citation. This supports long term access and compliance reporting.
Open access licensing supports lawful text and data mining for research and innovation when attribution is maintained.
User Responsibilities
Anyone reusing content must preserve attribution, avoid misrepresentation, and respect any stated limitations in the license.
- Maintain the original citation and DOI
- Indicate adaptations or translations clearly
- Do not imply endorsement by authors or journal
- Respect privacy and ethical restrictions
Proper attribution supports accurate citation tracking and protects the integrity of the scholarly record.
This also supports long term visibility for addiction research.
Reuse Examples
- Reuse figures in presentations with proper citation
- Share the final PDF with students and trainees
- Translate abstracts for community outreach with attribution
- Include the article in grant reports and policy briefs
Attribution Essentials
Attribution should include the author names, article title, journal name, publication year, and DOI. When adapting figures or tables, describe the nature of the adaptation.
Compliance and Reuse
Open access licensing supports funder mandates that require public access. Include the published DOI and license details in compliance reports.
- Maintain the original citation and DOI
- Indicate adaptations or translations clearly
- Do not imply endorsement by authors or journal
- Respect privacy and ethical restrictions
Educational and Clinical Use
Educational reuse is encouraged with proper attribution. This supports clinical training and dissemination of addiction research findings.
If clinical images or identifiable data are included, authors must document consent for publication and ensure compliance with privacy standards.
Author Warranties
By submitting, authors confirm that the work is original, that permissions are secured for third party materials, and that all co authors approve publication.
Funder Compliance
Open access licensing supports funder mandates that require public access. Authors should confirm that the selected license meets sponsor requirements before acceptance.
License details are displayed on the article landing page to guide readers on permitted reuse.
Repository deposits should include the final citation to support accurate tracking.
Consistent citation practices preserve long term discoverability.
License Changes and Updates
License terms are set at publication and generally cannot be changed after release. Authors should confirm funder requirements and institutional policies before acceptance.
When sharing on institutional repositories or professional networks, always link to the published article to preserve citation integrity.
Proper attribution and stable links protect the visibility and integrity of addiction research outputs.
