Rights and Permissions

Updated June 2020

Author License Policy

Authors grant JNeurosci a license to publish their work and copyright remains with the author. For articles published after 2014, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) retains an exclusive license to publish the article for 6 months; after 6 months, the work becomes available to the public to copy, distribute, or display under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY). This license allows data and text mining, use of figures in presentations, and posting the article online, provided that the original article is credited.

Material published from 2010 to 2014 is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-NC-SA). SfN holds copyright for material published before 2010. 

Open Choice

Authors may pay a surcharge to make their article freely available under a CC-BY license immediately upon publication. Authors can select the Open Choice option at submission, revision, or acceptance.

Author Rights

Authors do not need to obtain permission to reuse their material, including to:

  • ⁘  Reuse figures and tables in future works
  • ⁘  Include articles in theses or dissertations
  • ⁘  Reprint articles in books or compilations of their work
  • ⁘  Deposit the accepted manuscript version of their manuscript in an institutional repository or on their personal website. The JNeurosci-formatted PDF may be used 6 months after issue publication, or immediately if published Open Choice.

The original article in JNeurosci must be cited and linked to, where appropriate.

Funder Mandates

JNeurosci automatically deposits all articles in PubMed Central regardless of funding status. Articles are deposited once they have appeared in an issue and will be freely available 6 months from the issue date, unless the authors selected Open Choice.  Furthermore, authors may deposit their final, accepted manuscript file, including revisions made during peer review, to funder, institutional, or other repositories at any time.
