Licensing

Unless an individual article states otherwise, JACR articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). The licence that applies to a given article is displayed with that article and prevails over this summary.

1. What the licence permits

Anyone may share the article — copy and redistribute it in any medium or format — and adapt it — remix, transform, and build upon it — provided the three conditions below are met. The licence cannot be revoked once the article is published.

2. The three conditions

Condition What it requires in practice
BY
Attribution		Credit the authors, give a link to the licence, and state whether you changed anything. Attribution must not suggest that the authors or JACR endorse you or your use.
NC
NonCommercial		You may not use the material primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. Teaching, research, clinical practice, and not-for-profit dissemination are not commercial uses; selling reprints, including the article in a paid product or paid training course, or using it in advertising are.
SA
ShareAlike		If you adapt the material, you must distribute your adaptation under this same licence.

No additional legal or technological restriction may be applied that prevents others from doing anything the licence permits. Uses allowed by an applicable exception or limitation to copyright — for example quotation or fair dealing — are not restricted by the licence.

3. How to attribute an article correctly

An attribution that satisfies the licence names the authors, the article, the journal, the year, the volume and issue, the pages, the DOI, and the licence. For example:

Author A, Author B. Title of the article. Journal of Anesthesiology and Clinical Research. 2026;7(2):123–134. doi:10.37275/jacr.vXiY.ZZZ. Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

4. What the licence does not cover

  • Third-party material inside an article. A figure, table, image, or long quotation reproduced from another source keeps its own rights, which are indicated at that point in the article. Reusing it requires permission from its rights holder, not from JACR.
  • Patient images and identifiable personal information. These are published under the specific written consent obtained for that publication. The licence does not extend that consent to any further use, and they must not be extracted, reused, or republished separately. See Publication Ethics.
  • The JACR name, logo, and website design. See Copyright.
  • Trade marks and the moral rights of the authors, including the right to be identified as the author.

5. Uses beyond the licence

A commercial use, or any use outside the licence terms, requires permission. Because the authors retain copyright, permission is sought from the corresponding author; the journal will pass on a request where the corresponding author cannot be reached. Write to journalanesthesiology@gmail.com, identifying the article by title and DOI and describing the intended use.

6. Text and data mining

Text and data mining of JACR content for research is permitted and encouraged under the licence, including automated harvesting of the full text and the metadata. Mined output must attribute the source articles, and any redistributed derivative must carry the same licence. JACR does not require a separate agreement for mining and does not impose technical measures to prevent it.

7. Where an article states a different licence

An individual article may carry a different licence — for example where a funder mandates CC BY, or where an author’s institution requires specific terms. In that case the licence shown with the article governs, and this page does not override it. The licence statement is part of the published record and is not changed after publication except through Corrections, Retractions, and Post-publication Updates.
