Open Access License

JTR publishes under Creative Commons licenses that allow sharing and reuse with proper attribution. Authors retain copyright while granting the journal permission to publish and disseminate the article.

This approach enables educators, researchers, and industry teams to use your work while preserving attribution and integrity.

Authors must obtain permissions for third party figures or datasets not covered by the article license. Include proper credit lines and indicate restrictions where needed.

License Compliance

If a funder mandates a specific license, indicate this at submission. JTR will work with authors to meet compliance requirements while maintaining open access visibility.

Attribution Guidance

Include article title, author names, journal name, year, and DOI when reusing content. Note any adaptations or translations clearly.

Common License Options

Open access journals commonly use Creative Commons licenses such as CC BY. These licenses allow broad reuse with proper attribution and are widely accepted by funders and institutions.

Reuse in Teaching and Theses

Authors may reuse content in theses, teaching materials, and presentations with attribution. This supports academic engagement and wider dissemination of transgenic research.

Third Party Content

If figures, images, or datasets are not owned by the authors, permissions must be secured and credited. Third party content may require separate licensing statements.

Repository Deposits

Authors may deposit the published version or accepted manuscript in institutional and funder repositories. Include the DOI and license in repository records to ensure accurate reuse rights.

Commercial and Industry Reuse

Open access licensing enables responsible commercial reuse, including industry and clinical applications, as long as proper attribution is provided. This supports translation of transgenic research.

Author Rights Summary

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal a license to publish. You may share, distribute, and archive your work with attribution, ensuring your research remains accessible and credited.

Licenses for Data and Code

Datasets and software may use separate licenses. Choose licenses that align with community standards and allow reuse while maintaining attribution. Mention these licenses in your data and code availability statements.

Integrity and Moral Rights

Attribution must not misrepresent the author or the integrity of the work. Any adaptations should be labeled clearly so readers understand what was changed from the original publication.

Reuse with Modifications

When adapting figures or translating content, note the changes and cite the original article. This protects authors and ensures downstream users understand how the content has been altered.

Permission Support

If you are unsure about reuse rights for certain materials, contact the editorial office. We can advise on proper attribution and permission statements.

Collaborative and Multi Author Works

When articles include multi institution collaborators, confirm that all parties agree to the license terms. Clear agreement avoids future conflicts and supports responsible reuse.

Attribution Template

A recommended attribution includes author names, article title, journal, year, and DOI. If content is adapted, add a short note describing the changes to preserve transparency.

Preprints and Accepted Manuscripts

Authors may share preprints and accepted manuscripts with appropriate citation and license details. Once the final article is published, update preprint records with the DOI to consolidate citations. Do not remove preprints during review; disclose any prior posting in the cover letter. The published article remains the version of record with the official license and DOI. If you update a preprint, label the version clearly and link to the final article after acceptance to avoid confusion publicly.
