In Journal publishing, copyright refers to the legal protection granted to authors for their original scholarly work, ensuring they retain control over its use, reproduction, and distribution. Licensing allows authors or publishers to grant specific permissions to others, such as researchers or institutions, to access, share, or reuse the work under predefined terms, often outlined in agreements like Creative Commons licenses.

Authors retain copyright of their published work unless otherwise required by applicable institutional or funding arrangements. By submitting a manuscript for publication, authors grant Chem Publishers the non-exclusive right to publish, reproduce, distribute, and make the article available as part of the journal’s scholarly publishing activities. The copyright arrangement does not restrict the author’s rights permitted under the applicable Creative Commons license.

Unless otherwise stated on an individual article, articles published by ANST are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Reproducing Material from Other Publishers
Authors must obtain permission to reproduce any figures, schemes, tables, or text extracts that are not public domain or not under their copyright. The copyright holder, typically the publisher, should be contacted for permission. The copyright holder can be identified from the publication imprint. This step is necessary to avoid copyright infringement and ensure proper citation of sources.
Actions Requiring Permission
- The use of substantial portions of the work of another person, whether from a single source or multiple works within a series.
- The use of tables, graphs, charts, schemes, or artworks that are either unmodified or only minimally adjusted.
- Reproduce your work with other publishers if you do not retain the copyright.
- Use of photographs for which you do not own the copyright.
No Permission Needed For
- Reconstructing a table with data from another source, with appropriate citation as “Data from…” or “Adapted from…,” does not require permission.
- Short quotes that fall under fair use do not require permission.
- Fully redrawing and significantly altering graphs, charts, schemes, or artworks beyond recognition does not require permission.
Acquiring Consent
Authors should start the permission process as early as possible to ensure a smooth publication process. If there is any uncertainty regarding copyright, authors should seek permission. The Journal Advances of Nutrition Science and Technology cannot publish material from other sources without proper authorization.
If the copyright holder provides specific instructions for acknowledgment, follow those. If not, use the following format for acknowledgment:
“Reproduced with permission from [author], [book/journal title]; published by [publisher], [year].” This statement should appear at the end of the caption for the table, figure, or scheme.
The Exception to the Copyright Policy
Under specific circumstances, articles published in the Journal of Advances in Nutrition Science and Technology may be governed by a different licensing agreement. If you have particular requirements, such as funding mandates that prevent compliance with the Creative Commons Attribution License or a need to co-publish with other publishers, then please notify the Journal’s editorial office during the submission process. The publisher may consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
Third-Party Material
Authors are responsible for identifying material within their articles that is not covered by the article’s Creative Commons license, including third-party figures, photographs, tables, or other copyrighted material.
Where applicable, permissions and separate licensing information must be clearly identified in the article.
