JED supports author rights by allowing researchers to retain copyright. Upon acceptance, authors grant the journal a license to publish, archive, and distribute the article in multiple formats. This approach ensures wide dissemination while protecting the authorship record.

Authors may share published articles on institutional repositories, personal websites, and academic networks, provided the final citation and DOI are included. This supports rapid access for clinicians and researchers who rely on etiological findings.

Users must credit author names, article title, journal name, year, and DOI. If the work is adapted, the nature of the changes must be stated. Commercial reuse is permitted only when the license allows it. Authors who include third party content must secure permissions and provide appropriate credit lines.

When images, tables, or datasets originate from external sources, the rights holder must authorize reuse under the selected license. Authors are responsible for confirming permissions prior to publication.

If your manuscript includes figures, tables, or datasets from previously published sources, you must obtain permission from the rights holder and provide a clear credit line. Reused content must be compatible with the selected Creative Commons license.

For clinical images or patient data, confirm that consent permits publication. Proper permissions protect both authors and the journal while ensuring legal reuse for readers.

Authors may share the final published version in repositories, departmental sites, and academic networks. Always include the formal citation and DOI to maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.

Before submission, confirm your funder requirements for licensing and repository deposit. If a CC BY license is required, indicate this during submission so the correct license is applied at publication. Compliance helps avoid delays and ensures funding obligations are met.

Authors should retain documentation of license selection and permissions for any third party content. This documentation may be requested during production or audit processes.

Commercial reuse is permitted only when the selected license allows it. Educational reuse is generally encouraged with proper attribution and clear citation of the original article. Derivative works must indicate changes and retain attribution.

If you have questions about a specific reuse request, contact the editorial office for guidance on licensing alignment.

Attribution should include author names, article title, journal name, year, volume, and DOI. This ensures readers can trace the original etiological evidence and cite it accurately.

Store copies of permission letters and license confirmations. This makes it easier to respond to reuse requests or compliance checks later.
