Rights, reuse & media
Policy for journalists, permissions desks, and anyone reusing JBE content once articles carry final licences. Until the publisher posts definitive licence language, treat materials on this site as draft.
Media enquiries
Press requests should use the contact form with topic Media and “MEDIA QUERY” at the start of the subject line. Editors can suggest author contacts when on-the-record commentary is appropriate but cannot guarantee availability or sign off on quotes on authors’ behalf.
Text and data reuse
After launch, open-access articles are expected to carry Creative Commons terms (likely CC BY or CC BY–ND for text; figures may differ where third-party rights apply). Standard licence deeds on each article page govern reproduction without further permission up to the stated limits.
Classroom use of reasonable excerpts normally falls within fair dealing or equivalent; when in doubt, cite the DOI and link to the version of record.
Figures, tables, and substantial extracts
Republication of figures or extended quotations in another journal, book, or commercial slide deck typically requires permission from the rights holder (often the authors under CC) and acknowledgement of JBE. Copy the editorial office when you secure permission so the production desk can confirm credit lines.
Translations
Published translations need author approval where they still hold rights, plus an English abstract and DOI pointer back to the original. Unofficial translations should not imply endorsement; contact us if you are planning a full-text public translation.
Complaints about published matter
Ethics and correction requests are handled under COPE-style timelines. See the ethics section on the contact page for routing.
