Accepted manuscripts are typically published under a Creative Commons license, usually CC BY, which allows sharing and adaptation with proper attribution. This model supports clinical adoption and educational reuse in trauma care.

Authors are responsible for securing permissions for third party figures, tables, or images. Include credit lines and permission statements where required. If content is not eligible for CC BY reuse, state restrictions in the figure caption.

Creative Commons licensing allows reuse with attribution. Clearly state license terms in text, figures, and supplementary files. Most JMPT articles use CC BY, enabling broad distribution while protecting author credit.

Secure permissions for third party content and include credit lines. Missing permissions can delay publication. If permissions are not granted, replace or remove the material before acceptance to avoid production delays.

Open licensing supports guideline development, educational use, and translation into trauma care protocols. These permissions accelerate clinical adoption and allow educators to integrate findings into training programs.

Authors retain copyright and may share the final published version without embargo. This includes posting on institutional repositories, personal websites, or professional networks with appropriate citation.

Preprints are permitted and should be disclosed at submission. After publication, update preprint records with the final DOI to direct readers to the version of record.

Clinicians and educators may reuse figures or excerpts with proper attribution. This supports teaching, patient education, and clinical guideline development while maintaining credit to the original authors.

Commercial reuse is permitted under CC BY with attribution, but third party material may carry separate restrictions. Authors should flag any restrictions during submission to ensure correct licensing statements.

Attribution should include article title, authors, journal name, year, and DOI. For reuse of figures or tables, include the full citation in the caption to ensure proper credit.

CC BY allows adaptation and translation provided attribution is maintained. If adaptations are made, users should indicate that changes were made and provide a link to the original version of record.

Authors may post the final published PDF in institutional repositories, funder portals, or personal sites. Include the DOI and citation to direct readers to the official version of record.

Before acceptance, confirm that all third party content has written permission and that credit lines are accurate. If permissions are pending, replace the material to avoid publication delays.

After acceptance, authors complete a publishing agreement that confirms licensing terms and author rights. Review the agreement carefully to ensure it matches funder requirements and institutional policies.

If your funder requires a specific license or repository deposit, inform the editorial office at submission. We can align publication terms with mandate requirements to avoid delays after acceptance.

JMPT supports author rights retention for teaching, conference presentations, and institutional reporting. Authors may share accepted and published versions with proper citation, supporting broad educational and clinical impact.

Include the license statement in the manuscript and any supplementary files. Consistent display of the license ensures reuse terms are visible to readers and downstream users.

Keep a copy of the final license agreement and correspondence with the editorial office. This record supports institutional compliance checks and helps resolve any future reuse questions.
