" The manager dashboard with the Licence manager button highlighted."

The licence manager allows you to define what licences are available for submissions to your journal. By default, Janeway provides all CC 4.0 licences and an All Rights Reserved licence. You can edit the list to fit your journal's needs and licence requirements.

When people submit to your journal, they have to select a licence from this list. If you want to make more licences available to them, you need to provide the following information to add them:

  • Name
    The full name of the licence type (e.g. Creative Commons Attribution 4.0).

  • Short name
    The shortened version of the licence name (e.g. CC BY 4.0).

  • URL
    A URL to a description of the licence.

  • Text
    The text of the licence, detailing the permissions and the restrictions associated with it.

  • Order
    The order in which the licence will appear in the list. This can be set here through numerical ordering (e.g., “1” denotes that it will be first in the list) or changed via drag and dropping the licences on the Current licences list view.

  • Available for submission
    If this box is checked, this licence can be selected when people submit to your journal.

If the journal uses only one licence type, you can disable the licence selection field using the Submission configurator.
