Open Access License

JVB publishes under Creative Commons licenses that allow sharing and reuse with proper attribution. Authors retain copyright while granting the journal permission to publish.

This approach enables educators, researchers, and clinicians to reuse content while preserving author credit.

Authors must obtain permissions for third party figures or datasets not covered by the article license. Include proper credit lines and indicate restrictions.

License Compliance

If a funder mandates a specific license, indicate this at submission. JVB will work with authors to meet compliance requirements.

Attribution Guidance

Include article title, author names, journal name, year, and DOI when reusing content. Note adaptations clearly.

Repository Deposits

Authors may deposit the published version in institutional or funder repositories with the DOI and license included.

Common License Options

Open access journals commonly use Creative Commons licenses such as CC BY. These licenses allow broad reuse with proper attribution.

Teaching and Training Use

Authors may reuse content in teaching materials, workshops, and training modules with attribution. This supports practitioner education.

Third Party Content

Obtain permissions for third party figures, tables, or assessment tools not covered by the article license. Include credit lines.

Author Rights Summary

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal a license to publish. You may share, distribute, and archive your work with attribution.

Commercial Reuse

Open access licensing enables responsible commercial reuse with attribution, supporting translation to clinical practice and services.

Data and Code Licenses

Datasets and scripts may use separate licenses. Choose licenses that align with community standards and note them in your data statements.

Adaptations and Translations

When adapting or translating content, cite the original article and note changes. This protects author credit and transparency.

License for Figures

Ensure figure permissions match the article license. If a figure is reused under a different license, indicate restrictions clearly.

Preprints

Preprint posting is permitted when disclosed. Update preprints with the published DOI to consolidate citations and credit.

Reuse Requests

For questions about reuse, contact the editorial office. We can advise on attribution language and permission statements.

Attribution Template

Recommended attribution includes author names, article title, journal, year, and DOI. Add a short note if content is adapted.

Integrity and Moral Rights

Attribution must not misrepresent the author or the integrity of the work. Label modifications clearly to protect credibility.

Reuse in Policies

Policy makers and practitioners may reuse findings in guidelines with attribution. Open access licensing supports evidence based policy development.

Author Sharing

Authors may share their articles on personal websites, institutional repositories, and social media with the DOI and license included.

Third Party Data

If datasets are owned by third parties, obtain permission before publication and describe any reuse restrictions clearly.

Permissions Checklist

Confirm permission for instruments, images, and copyrighted materials. This prevents post publication corrections and delays.

License Display

The article includes a clear license statement so readers know how content can be reused. This reduces confusion and supports compliance.

Adaptation Notice

If you adapt figures or protocols for presentations, include an adaptation note. This preserves transparency and proper credit.

Open Access Visibility

Licensing enables educators and clinicians to share findings with students and families. Broad reuse helps verbal behavior research reach practice settings faster. Licensing also supports distribution in training modules, clinical guidelines, and professional development programs. When reuse is permitted, evidence reaches frontline practitioners faster, improving intervention fidelity and communication outcomes. It also supports open education and caregiver training resources.
