Copyright and Licence

Authors who publish in CRSP journals keep the copyright and instead give the publisher a non-exclusive licence to distribute the work. Unless another licence is specifically requested, every article is automatically released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0) or Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International licence (CC BY-NC 4.0). This licence lets readers download, share, and reuse the content for any purpose, provided that appropriate credit is given and the original source is cited.

Before submission, authors must carefully read the journal’s policies; if they do not state a preferred licence, they are deemed to have accepted the default CC BY 4.0 terms.

It is the authors’ duty to secure any additional permissions needed to reuse material—such as figures, tables, or schemes—that was originally published under a more restrictive licence, and to obtain this clearance prior to submission.
