Copyright & License

Open access licensing supporting broad dissemination of enzyme research.

Creative Commons Open Access

JEN publishes all articles under Creative Commons licensing, ensuring immediate free access while protecting author rights. This model maximizes research impact by removing access barriers for researchers worldwide.

License Terms

CC BY 4.0: Articles are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Anyone may share, copy, redistribute, and adapt the material for any purpose, including commercial use, provided appropriate attribution is given.

Author Rights

Copyright Ownership

Authors retain copyright while granting JEN publication rights. You maintain full ownership of your enzyme research.

Self-Archiving

Deposit published versions in institutional repositories and personal websites without embargo.

Reuse Rights

Freely reuse your published content for teaching, presentations, and derivative works.

Attribution Requirements

Users must cite original authors, article title, journal name, volume/issue, and DOI when reusing content. Modifications should be noted. The license does not imply endorsement of derivative works by original authors.

Third-Party Content

When including previously published figures, tables, or substantial quotations, authors must obtain permissions and provide appropriate attribution.

Author Warranties

By submitting manuscripts, authors warrant that work is original, has not been published elsewhere, and does not infringe third-party rights. Authors confirm necessary permissions for reproduced content.

Publisher Responsibilities

JEN commits to maintaining published content accessibility and integrity. We address legitimate concerns about published work following Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines.

Commercial Use

CC BY licensing permits commercial reuse with proper attribution. This includes inclusion in commercial databases, educational materials, or derivative products.

Translations

Published articles may be translated into other languages provided appropriate attribution is maintained. Translations must identify the original source clearly.

Preprint Licensing

Authors who posted preprint versions before journal submission retain those preprint rights. The final published version carries the CC BY license. Authors should update preprints with links to the published version for accurate citation.

Data Licensing

Supplementary data published with articles follows the same CC BY licensing. This enables reuse and reanalysis of enzyme datasets while maintaining attribution to original authors.

Patent Considerations

Open access publication does not affect patent rights. Authors with pending patent applications should consult with their technology transfer offices regarding publication timing and disclosure requirements.

Educational Use

CC BY licensing explicitly permits educational reuse of published enzyme research. Instructors may incorporate JEN articles, figures, and data into courses and educational materials with proper attribution to original authors.

Derivative Works

Researchers building upon JEN publications may create derivative works under CC BY terms. This includes meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and database compilations incorporating published enzyme data with appropriate citation and acknowledgment of original contributions.
