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 visibility for antioxidant 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
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 permissions are secured before publication.
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
Can I post the article on my lab website?
Yes. Authors may share the final published version on personal or institutional sites.
Does CC BY allow commercial reuse?
Yes, as long as proper attribution is provided and changes are noted.
Can I reuse figures in a grant proposal?
Yes. Authors retain the right to reuse their own content with proper citation.

Public Access and Funder Compliance
Some authors are required by their funders to make their research publicly available. Under the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy, Author Accepted Manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025, must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance and made publicly available without embargo on the official date of publication.
What JAA provides: JAA publishes the Version of Record under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. The journal also permits authors to deposit their Author Accepted Manuscript in funder-designated repositories. Upon acceptance, we confirm the accepted manuscript version and record the funder and grant information supplied by the authors.
Author responsibility: JAA does not currently deposit manuscripts in PubMed Central on behalf of authors. Authors are responsible for determining which funder requirements apply, initiating the appropriate repository submission and completing any required NIHMS approval steps.
Eligibility and successful processing through PubMed Central or NIHMS are determined according to the relevant funder and NIH/NLM requirements.
Important: The deposit of an individual article in PubMed Central may result in that article appearing in PubMed. It does not mean that JAA is indexed in MEDLINE, included in the PMC Journal List or that all JAA articles are available through PubMed. The journal's current coverage is listed on the Indexing page.
