Journal of Aging Research and Healthcare publishes open-access articles under a Creative Commons license to support broad sharing and reuse with proper attribution.
All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This allows readers to copy, distribute, adapt, and build upon the work for any purpose, provided appropriate credit is given to the original authors and the source.
Open licensing supports the dissemination of aging research across clinical, academic, and community settings. It enables evidence to reach caregivers, policy makers, and practitioners without subscription barriers.
Because aging research is often used to shape care pathways and public health programs, the CC BY license ensures that evidence can be shared responsibly while maintaining author credit.
Authors retain copyright in their work. By publishing with Journal of Aging Research and Healthcare, authors grant the journal permission to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher. Authors may share and reuse their own work in accordance with the CC BY license terms.
This approach preserves author ownership while ensuring the article is freely available to the public. It also supports compliance with many funder and institutional open access requirements.
- Share the published PDF on personal or institutional websites
- Deposit the article in institutional repositories with citation details
- Use figures or excerpts in future work with proper attribution
- Provide copies to students, trainees, or community partners
- Read, download, and share the article without charge
- Reuse figures or text with proper citation
- Create translations or adaptations with attribution
- Use content for teaching, policy, or clinical guidance
Users must provide a citation to the original article and indicate if changes were made. The integrity of the scholarly record should be respected in all reuse cases.
Authors are responsible for securing permissions to use third party materials such as figures, tables, images, or instruments. Any content not covered by the CC BY license must be clearly credited, and restrictions must be stated in the article.
If third party content has restrictions, readers may need to seek additional permission from the original rights holder before reuse. Authors should ensure that permissions are obtained before submission.
Supplementary files and datasets linked to the article should follow the same principles of attribution and responsible reuse. If data are shared under a different license or access condition, this should be stated clearly in the Data Availability Statement. This improves transparency and reuse.
Proper attribution should include author names, article title, journal name, year of publication, and DOI. Where possible, include a direct link to the published article. Clear attribution supports transparency and helps readers locate the original source.
Journal of Aging Research and Healthcare aligns with COPE and ICMJE guidance and supports responsible publication practices. License terms are applied consistently to ensure that published work remains accessible while respecting author rights and ethical standards.
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 JARH provides: JARH 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: JARH 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 JARH is indexed in MEDLINE, included in the PMC Journal List or that all JARH articles are available through PubMed. The journal's current coverage is listed on the Indexing page.
