Creative Commons (CC) licences

Creative Commons (CC) licences play an important role in facilitating Gold Open Access publishing. They provide a legal framework for giving users the ability to freely view, download and distribute content.

Many of our journals offer authors a choice between multiple CC licence options. To see which licences a journal offers, please go to the 'Journal information' section of the journal's home page, and look under 'Journal policies' for 'Open access options'.

You can find more information about Creative Commons licences, and how they are used in Gold Open Access publishing, at the links below.
