  • Authors have the right to adapt (remix, transform and build upon) new works from the articles published in the journal, with the corresponding reference (authors, journal, volume, issue, year) of the initial publication in the Journal.
  • Articles will have a higher visibility and number of readers.

The Journal Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism does not charge any fee to the authors for the submission and publication of their articles, nor to the readers that download the articles for their own academic purpose.

 

SELF-ARCHIVING POLICY

The journal allows that once the issue has been published on the web page, authors can self-archive the final published version of the articles in institutional repositories, thematic repositories or personal web pages. This is allowed as long as the Creative Commons licence (CC BY-NC-SA) is complied and both the authors and the journal are properly credited.
