Copyright

For JPM to publish and disseminate research articles, we need certain publishing rights from authors, which are determined by a publishing agreement between the author and JPM.

For articles published open access, the authors license exclusive rights in their article to JPM where a CC BY-NC-ND end user license is selected and license non-exclusive rights where a CC BY end user license is selected.

Authors have many of the same rights under our publishing agreement, which support their need to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research. The points below explain authors' rights when they publish with JPM. These apply to the corresponding author and all co-authors.
