9) Third-Party Material

Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions for any third-party material (e.g., figures, tables, images, datasets, long text extracts) included in their manuscripts.

Authors must:

• secure written permission from copyright holders when the material is not covered by an applicable exception (e.g., fair use or similar exceptions);

• ensure that reused materials do not violate copyright law.

Where third-party material is included, it must be clearly identified with its own rights statement, as it may not be covered by the article’s CC BY 4.0 license.
