Customization Notes:

  1. Licensing Choice: Specify which Creative Commons license you will use. CC BY allows the most freedom, while CC BY-NC restricts commercial use.
  2. Publishing Model: If your journal is subscription-based rather than open access, the licensing terms will need to change accordingly.
  3. Author Rights: You can offer more or fewer rights depending on the balance between traditional and open access models.
