The Biol follows the copyright and licensing policies of Journal

The copyright of an article published in The Biol remains with the author(s). The authors give the publisher permission to publish the article and recognize the publisher as the source. The article can be reused and quoted as long as the original version is cited. This allows the work to be widely shared while ensuring the authors get proper credit.

A custom copyright statement may be needed if an author cannot hold the copyright (for example, government employees). In this situation, authors should inform The Biol editorial office before or after submitting the manuscript. Once published, the copyright statement cannot be changed. In some cases, articles may be licensed differently. If specific conditions (like those from funding requirements) prevent using this license, inform the editorial office when submitting the manuscript. The publisher may allow exceptions at its discretion.

Reproducing Published Material from other Publishers

It is the authors responsibility to get permission before submitting their work to use any published material (like figures, tables, or text) that is not public domain or that they do not own the copyright. Authors need to ask the copyright holder for permission.

Permission is required for:

• Your work published by other publishers and for which you did not retain copyright.
• Substantial extracts from anyone’s work or a series of works.
• Use tables, graphs, charts, schemes, and artworks if unaltered or slightly modified.
• Photographs for which you do not hold the copyright.

        Permission is not required for:

• Reconstruction of your table with data already published elsewhere. Please note that in this case, you must cite the source as “Data from…” or “Adapted from…”.
• Very short quotes are considered fair use and do not require permission.

Graphs, charts, schemes, and artwork that have been completely redrawn by the authors and significantly changed beyond recognition do not require permission. However, you may need to check the copyright permissions of any underlying data.
