Clear copyright policies and open licensing ensure your neurology and neuroscience research is accessible while protecting your rights as an author.
Open Access Licensing for Maximum Impact
The Journal of Neurological Research and Therapy publishes all accepted articles under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), the most permissive standard license for open access publishing. This licensing approach maximizes the reach and impact of your neurological research while ensuring appropriate credit through attribution requirements.
Authors retain copyright to their work while granting JNRT a license to publish and distribute the article. This author-friendly approach ensures you maintain control over your intellectual contributions while enabling the widest possible dissemination of your neuroscience discoveries to clinicians, researchers, and patients worldwide.
The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License grants broad permissions for reuse of published neurology content. Anyone can share, copy, redistribute, adapt, remix, transform, and build upon your work for any purpose, including commercial use, provided appropriate credit is given.
What Others Can Do
- Share and copy the article in any medium or format
- Adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the work
- Use the work for commercial purposes
- Translate into other languages for international audiences
- Create derivative works and adaptations
Required Attribution
- Credit the original authors of the neurological work
- Provide a link to the Creative Commons license

- Maintain integrity through proper sourcing
Authors publishing in JNRT retain copyright ownership of their neurological research. By submitting a manuscript for publication, authors grant JNRT a non-exclusive license to publish, distribute, and archive the article. This arrangement allows authors to share their work through institutional repositories, personal websites, and other platforms without restriction.
Your Rights as an Author
As the copyright owner, you can freely share your published neurology article, post it on preprint servers or institutional repositories, use it in teaching materials, include it in derivative works, and grant reuse permissions to others. There is no embargo period limiting your ability to share your work immediately upon publication.
Authors are responsible for obtaining necessary permissions for any third-party material included in their manuscripts, such as neuroimaging figures, images, or extended quotations from other sources. Permission documentation should be provided during the submission process.
JNRT supports preprint posting and does not consider manuscripts previously posted as preprints to be prior publications. Authors may post submitted neurology manuscripts on preprint servers at any time before or after publication. Upon acceptance, authors should update preprint records to include a link to the published article.
Authors are encouraged to deposit the published version of their neurology articles in institutional repositories immediately upon publication. Many funding agencies require open repository deposit, and JNRT's open access model fully supports these requirements without embargo periods.

Submit Manuscript Call for PapersPublic Access and Funder Compliance
Some authors are required by their funders to make their research publicly available. Under the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy, Author Accepted Manuscripts accepted for publication on or after July 1, 2025, must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance and made publicly available without embargo on the official date of publication.
What JNRT provides: JNRT publishes the Version of Record under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. The journal also permits authors to deposit their Author Accepted Manuscript in funder-designated repositories. Upon acceptance, we confirm the accepted manuscript version and record the funder and grant information supplied by the authors.
Author responsibility: JNRT does not currently deposit manuscripts in PubMed Central on behalf of authors. Authors are responsible for determining which funder requirements apply, initiating the appropriate repository submission and completing any required NIHMS approval steps.
Eligibility and successful processing through PubMed Central or NIHMS are determined according to the relevant funder and NIH/NLM requirements.
Important: The deposit of an individual article in PubMed Central may result in that article appearing in PubMed. It does not mean that JNRT is indexed in MEDLINE, included in the PMC Journal List or that all JNRT articles are available through PubMed. The journal's current coverage is listed on the Indexing page.
