Copyright Notice

At Jurnal Keperawatan Suaka Insan (JKSI), we believe in the broad dissemination of nursing knowledge while ensuring authors retain full control over their intellectual property. Therefore, our copyright and licensing policies are structured as follows:

1. Author Copyright Retention

Authors who publish with JKSI retain the full copyright to their scholarly work without restrictions. Complete ownership of the intellectual property remains entirely with the author(s).

2. Grant of First Publication Rights

By submitting a manuscript for consideration, authors agree to grant JKSI the right of first publication. This ensures that upon acceptance, JKSI serves as the primary and definitive venue to formally publish the peer-reviewed, edited, and formatted version of the article.

3. Creative Commons Licensing & Attribution

Concurrently with granting the first publication right, the accepted work will be immediately licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) upon publication. This license is specifically chosen to maximize the openness and reusability of the research. It explicitly allows users to:

  • Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.

  • Adapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

Attribution Requirement:

A fundamental condition of the CC BY 4.0 license is proper attribution. Anyone reusing or adapting the work must give appropriate credit to the original author(s), provide a link to the license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), clearly indicate if changes were made, and formally cite the original publication in JKSI. This ensures the authors' contributions are acknowledged and directs readers back to the definitive version published in our journal.

4. Author Self-Archiving and Open Access Policy

JKSI strongly supports Open Access principles and actively encourages authors to maximize the visibility and impact of their research. Authors are expressly permitted to deposit versions of their work in institutional repositories, subject-specific archives (e.g., PubMed Central), or personal/institutional websites. This permission applies across all stages of the publication process:

  • Preprints (Before Submission): Authors may share preprint versions of their manuscripts on recognized preprint servers before submission or during the peer-review process.

  • Accepted Manuscripts / Postprints (After Acceptance): Authors may deposit the final accepted manuscript (the version after peer review but prior to JKSI's final copyediting and formatting).

  • Version of Record (After Publication): Authors may deposit the final published PDF formatted by JKSI once it is available online.

Self-Archiving Stipulation:

When self-archiving the Accepted Manuscript or Version of Record, authors must include a formal citation and a direct link (DOI) to the definitive published article on the JKSI website. Engaging in these self-archiving practices fosters productive scholarly exchange, potentially accelerating citation rates, and significantly enhancing the global influence of the published research.
