Copyright & Licensing

Bayçınar Medical Publishing is committed to protecting authors’ rights while ensuring the broad dissemination and responsible reuse of published scholarly content. Our copyright and licensing policies are designed to promote transparency, academic integrity, and compliance with international publishing standards.

Copyright Ownership

Unless otherwise stated, authors retain the copyright of their published work. By submitting and publishing an article, authors grant Bayçınar Medical Publishing a non-exclusive license to publish, distribute, and archive the work in all forms and media.

This approach supports author ownership while enabling wide visibility and accessibility of scholarly content.

Licensing Terms

All published articles are distributed under clearly defined licensing terms. Journals typically use Creative Commons (CC) licenses, which allow users to share and reuse content under specified conditions.

The exact license applied to each article is clearly indicated on the article webpage.

Commonly used licenses may include:

All reuse must comply with the terms of the applicable license.

Third-Party Content

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any third-party material (e.g., figures, tables, images) included in their manuscripts unless such material is already licensed for reuse.

Proper attribution and documentation of permissions must be provided at the time of submission.

Reader and User Rights

Readers may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles in accordance with the applicable license terms, without requesting prior permission from the publisher or authors.
