Open Access Licensing

JEH uses Creative Commons licensing to allow broad reuse with proper attribution. This approach supports educational reuse, clinical guidance, and research dissemination.

The most common license is Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), which permits reuse with attribution to the original authors and source.

Author Rights

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal the right to publish and distribute the work. This ensures authors can reuse their work in teaching, presentations, or future publications.

• Reuse in academic and educational settings
• Deposit in institutional or funder repositories
• Sharing on personal or laboratory websites

Third Party Material

If your manuscript includes third party figures or data, obtain permissions when necessary and clearly credit the source. Materials not covered by the license should be labeled accordingly.

Attribution and Citation

Users of JEH content must provide appropriate credit, link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. This protects authorship and scholarly integrity.

Corrections and Updates

If post publication updates or corrections are issued, the license applies to the updated record while preserving the integrity of the scholarly record.

Institutional Requirements

Many institutions require open access licensing for publicly funded research. JEH provides clear license statements to support compliance with institutional and funder mandates.

Commercial Use

CC BY allows commercial reuse with attribution, which supports translation of endocrine research into clinical tools and educational resources. Authors seeking specific restrictions should contact the editorial office before submission.

Reuse Examples

JEH articles may be reused in teaching, clinical guidelines, or patient education materials when proper attribution is provided. This supports knowledge transfer across endocrine care.

Repository Deposits

Authors may deposit the published version in institutional or funder repositories immediately after publication, consistent with open access licensing terms.

Third Party Permissions

If third party figures, tables, or images are used, authors must secure permission and indicate any restrictions. Materials not covered by the license should be clearly labeled.

Attribution Standards

Attribution should include author names, article title, journal name, and a link to the license. If adaptations are made, they should be noted to preserve transparency.

Patient Privacy

Licensing does not override patient privacy obligations. Remove identifiers and obtain consent for any clinical images or case details used in the article.

Data and Code Licensing

If datasets or code are shared, specify their licenses separately. Consistent licensing helps users understand reuse rights for endocrine datasets and analytical scripts.

Author Responsibilities

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all content can be legally published and reused under the stated license. Disclose any restrictions clearly during submission. Keep documentation available if requested. This supports compliance reviews as needed.

Adaptations and Derivatives

Readers may adapt JEH content as long as attribution is provided and changes are noted. This supports derivative educational materials and clinical decision aids.

License Questions

If you need a specific licensing arrangement for funder compliance or clinical partnerships, contact the editorial office before submission to discuss options. We respond quickly to licensing inquiries.

Images and Charts

When reusing third party images or charts, include permission documentation and credit lines. If permission is limited, indicate restrictions in the figure legend. When in doubt, request written permission from the rights holder.

Translations

Translations of JEH articles are permitted under the license with proper attribution. Translators should note that interpretations are their own and reference the source. Include a link to the original article and license.
