Copyright and Licensing

Jurnal Venus applies the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) to articles published under this policy. Readers may share and adapt the licensed content, including for commercial purposes, provided the original authors and source are properly credited and the license terms are followed.

01. Purpose and Scope

Jurnal Venus, published by Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar, Indonesia, is committed to open access and the ethical protection of intellectual property. This policy explains the respective rights and responsibilities of authors, the journal, and readers concerning scholarly articles published by Jurnal Venus.

The policy applies to original journal content published under this policy. The applicable license for a particular published article is the license identified on its article page and/or published version of record; material published previously under different terms is governed by the terms attached to that material.

02. Copyright Ownership

Authors retain copyright in their original scholarly works, subject to any applicable written institutional, employer, or third-party rights agreements that they have a duty to disclose. Publication in Jurnal Venus does not, under this policy, require an exclusive transfer of copyright to the publisher.

Authors confirm that they have the necessary rights to publish the manuscript and to license the content as specified, and that all persons who hold relevant rights have approved its publication.

03. First-Publication and Non-Exclusive Publishing Rights

Upon acceptance for publication, authors grant Jurnal Venus a non-exclusive right of first publication and permission to reproduce, format, publish, distribute, preserve, display, and make the version of record available online under the applicable open-access license.

The journal may include the article in indexing services, academic databases, discovery platforms, and digital preservation arrangements. Authors remain responsible for any separate commitments that could prevent lawful open-access publication.

04. Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0)

Unless otherwise stated on the individual article, work published under this policy is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

• Share: Copy and redistribute the licensed work in any medium or format.
• Adapt: Remix, transform, translate, and build upon the work, including for commercial purposes.
• Attribute: Credit the authors, acknowledge Jurnal Venus as the original publication venue, provide a source and license link, and indicate whether modifications were made.
• No additional restrictions: Do not impose legal or technological restrictions that prevent uses allowed by the license.

CC BY 4.0 does not eliminate the need to respect privacy, publicity, moral rights, or rights in separately licensed third-party material. The license is not a certification of the accuracy or quality of the work.

05. Author Rights and Self-Archiving

Authors may share their submitted manuscript, accepted manuscript, and final published version through personal websites, institutional repositories, research profiles, and other lawful scholarly channels, provided they identify the relevant version and comply with any third-party rights.

When sharing the version of record, authors should provide the complete citation, journal title, publication year, and a link to the article DOI or official Jurnal Venus publication page. Authors are encouraged to link back to the published article to support discoverability and accurate attribution.

06. Third-Party Content and Permissions

Authors must identify and obtain necessary permission for material for which they do not own the rights, including figures, photographs, maps, tables, instruments, extended extracts, and other copyrighted content.

If third-party material is not covered by the article's CC BY 4.0 license, the authors must clearly indicate the separate copyright holder, credit line, permission conditions, and any restrictions on reuse. A CC BY 4.0 notice for the article does not automatically license separately identified third-party material.

07. Rights and Responsibilities of Readers

Readers, researchers, educators, and other users may reuse material licensed under CC BY 4.0 without requesting separate permission for uses allowed by that license. They must provide proper attribution, preserve notices when required, link to the license, and identify changes.

Users must not suggest that the authors, Jurnal Venus, or Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar endorse an adaptation or reuse merely because attribution is given.

08. Copyright and License Statements in Published Articles

Each article published under this policy should display a consistent copyright notice and a clearly identified license on the article landing page, in the PDF, and in OJS license metadata where supported.

For published articles carrying a different or earlier license notice, the journal should retain a clear record of the terms applicable to that publication and should not represent a later policy update as retroactively changing those rights.

09. Infringement, Disputes, and Corrections

Concerns about copyright infringement, missing permissions, inaccurate attribution, or conflicting licenses should be reported to the editorial office. The editorial team will assess the concern, request documentation as appropriate, and provide a fair opportunity for relevant parties to respond.

Where warranted, the journal may update a copyright notice, correct an article, issue an expression of concern, or take another publication-ethics action consistent with its Corrections and Retractions and Complaints and Appeals policies.

10. Policy Review and Editorial Contact

This policy will be reviewed periodically by the Jurnal Venus editorial board and updated where needed to reflect applicable legislation, accepted publishing ethics, and changes in licensing standards.

Questions regarding rights, permissions, licensing, and reuse may be directed to the editorial office at perpustakaan@pipmakassar.ac.id. The journal's Contact page provides official contact information.
