Open Access & Copyright

The JCJD (Journal of Crime & Justice Dissertations) makes use of a 'diamond open access' approach. In greater detail, the JCJD makes use of a Creative Commons Open Access licence (CC-BY). When authors sign a JCJD publication release, they agree to the terms within this license. This licence allows others to copy and redistribute the platform's published material in any medium or format. Material can be adapted in a range of ways: remixed, transformed and built upon for any purpose, even commercially. It is an appropriate license for the JCJD because it supports the social mission of the platform; it provides scope for users to create derivative works for the benefit of all academia.
