Author Rights And Reuse
Authors retain copyright and grant the journal a license to publish and distribute the work. This allows authors to share their articles in institutional repositories, professional websites, and conference materials with proper attribution.
Readers may reuse and adapt content for educational and clinical training purposes, provided the original authors and source are cited. This supports rapid knowledge transfer in perioperative settings where updated evidence can improve outcomes.
For any licensing questions or special funder requirements, contact the editorial office prior to publication.
How The License Supports Clinical Practice
Open licensing allows educators to incorporate IJAN articles into residency curricula, simulation training, and continuing education programs. Hospitals may adapt figures or tables for protocols, provided attribution is maintained.
Researchers may reuse data visualizations or methodology descriptions when conducting meta analyses or guideline updates. The license supports rapid translation of anesthesia evidence into clinical practice.
Using Licensed Materials
If you include content owned by others, obtain written permission and clearly label reused material. Failure to secure permissions can delay publication.
When adapting guidelines or figures, ensure that reuse complies with the original license terms and include proper attribution in the caption.
How To Cite Correctly
Reuse should include author names, article title, journal name, publication year, and a link to the license. Proper attribution ensures credit and supports citation integrity.
Sharing After Publication
Authors may deposit the published article in institutional repositories and personal websites with full citation and license information.
Include The License Link
When sharing or adapting IJAN articles, include the license name and link so readers understand permitted uses and attribution requirements.
Meeting Funder Requirements
Many funders require open access licensing. If your grant mandates a specific license, inform the editorial office early so the correct terms are applied at publication.
Use In Teaching And Training
Open licensing supports reuse in clinical teaching, simulation, and professional development activities when full attribution is provided.
Keep Citations Visible
Always retain the original citation when reusing text or figures.
