Policies
Policy on Prepublication
The Journal of Neuroscience generally does not consider manuscripts that have been previously published. Exceptions are made for published abstracts, theses, and posters or manuscripts that have been posted on the Internet for the purpose of receiving commentary from the community. Online posting is typically done at a prepublication repository that has been designed for the purpose, but posting on an institutional web site or other Internet location is acceptable.
It is essential that the authors retain the copyright for any prepublished material that they submit to The Journal, and that they are willing and able to relinquish to The Journal any copyrights and/or licenses that The Journal requires for publication of accepted manuscripts. Authors should realize that other journals might not consider prepublished material and that prepublication will restrict their alternatives when a manuscript is not accepted by The Journal.Copyright Policy
Copyright of all material published in The Journal of Neuroscience remains with the authors. The authors grant the Society for Neuroscience an exclusive license to publish their work for the first 6 months. After 6 months the work becomes available to the public to copy, distribute, or display under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. All authors should sign the license. If this is not feasible, the corresponding author can sign on behalf of the authors. The license can be found at http://www.jneurosci.org/misc/License_to_Publish.pdf.
You may also contact jn{at}sfn.org to have a License to Publish form sent to you. Promptly returning the license will avoid publication delays. A scanned copy of a signed form can be sent to jn{at}sfn.org. Alternatively, the form may be faxed to 202-962-4945, or mailed to:Society for Neuroscience
