The editorial team of the Journal of Nepalese Society of Critical Care Medicine (JNSCCM) wishes to inform our readers, authors, and indexing partners that we intend to maintain consistency in the copyright and licensing statements displayed across the sections of our website, article landing pages, and previously published PDF files.
Inconsistencies may include differences in the stated copyright holder, publication year, and variations in the wording of the Creative Commons license notice.
We would like to clarify that the intended and official licensing policy of JNSCCM is as follows:
- All articles published in JNSCCM are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License
- Copyright remains with the author(s) of the respective article
- By submitting and publishing with JNSCCM, authors grant the journal the non-exclusive right to publish, archive, index, and distribute the work
For previously published articles where the website or PDF may incorrectly state
“Copyright © JNSCCM” or contain outdated license wording, this should be understood as a metadata and template error only, and does not alter the intended copyright ownership or licensing terms of the published work
The intended rights for all previously published articles remain:
Copyright © Author(s), licensed under CC BY 4.0
We sincerely regret any confusion this may have caused to our authors, readers, and indexing agencies.
The JNSCCM editorial and technical team is currently undertaking a comprehensive review of all published content, metadata, PDF templates, and policy pages to correct these inconsistencies and update the relevant statements across the website.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to rectify these errors and strengthen the accuracy and transparency of our publication records.
For any questions or concerns, please contact the editorial office.
