Copyright and reproduction

Content in ASBMB journals — the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Molecular & Cellular Proteomics and the Journal of Lipid Research — that was published under those journals’ paid open access publishing option, Author’s Choice, was distributed under the CC-BY license which automatically grants all commercial and noncommercial use of the article to all, as long as appropriate attribution is given to the original work.

Therefore, permission need not be secured in order to reuse content published under the CC-BY license.

ASBMB journal articles published under the Author’s Choice option before April 1, 2013, were initially published under the CC BY-NC license but have been relicensed with the CC-BY license. While readers will continue to see a link on those articles to the CC BY-NC license, this notice confirms that the license for these articles has been changed to the CC-BY license.
