Copyright ownership remains with the author or authors unless a different ownership arrangement is required by applicable law or a valid agreement that has been disclosed and approved before publication.

The published work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0), unless otherwise indicated for specific third-party materials.

The specific copyright year and author information should correspond to the relevant article's publication record.

2. PUBLISHING RIGHTS AND NON-EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT

Upon acceptance of a manuscript for publication, the author or authors grant JOLLT a non-exclusive right of first publication.

This arrangement permits the journal to publish, reproduce, distribute, communicate, index, and maintain the scholarly work as part of its official publication record, consistent with the journal's open-access policies and the applicable Creative Commons license.

The publishing arrangement does not extinguish the authors' copyright ownership or prevent authors from exercising rights that remain available under the publishing agreement and the applicable license.

2.1. Right of First Publication

JOLLT receives permission to publish the accepted manuscript as the journal's official scholarly publication.

The publication record identifies the article's authorship, journal title, publication year, volume, issue, and other relevant bibliographic information.

Authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript is not simultaneously under consideration by another journal and does not constitute unauthorized duplicate publication.

2.2. Non-Exclusive Publishing Permission

The publication agreement is non-exclusive. Authors retain the ability to distribute, archive, and reuse their work in accordance with the applicable copyright and licensing arrangements.

JOLLT does not claim exclusive ownership of the manuscript solely by accepting or publishing it.

2.3. Journal Distribution and Indexing

JOLLT may make published articles available through its official website, publication archive, indexing services, metadata distribution systems, and appropriate scholarly preservation arrangements.

Such activities must respect the authors' retained copyright, the applicable article license, and any separately identified third-party rights.

Authors are permitted and encouraged to make their scholarly work accessible through appropriate online platforms.

Authors may deposit the published version of their articles in institutional or disciplinary repositories under the applicable CC BY-SA 4.0 license, without an embargo imposed by JOLLT.

The deposited version should clearly identify the original publication in JOLLT and provide an appropriate citation and link to the official journal publication record.

3.2. Preprints and Earlier Manuscript Versions

Authors may share earlier manuscript versions, including preprints, subject to applicable ethical, legal, institutional, and publication requirements.

Relevant prior dissemination must be disclosed during submission when necessary to evaluate the manuscript's originality and publication status.

Once the article is published, authors are encouraged to update relevant preprint or repository records with a citation and link to the official version published in JOLLT.

3.3. Subsequent Scholarly Distribution

Authors may enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of their published works, provided that these arrangements are consistent with previously granted rights and the applicable Creative Commons license.

Such arrangements may include repository deposit, inclusion in scholarly compilations, academic teaching materials, or other legitimate dissemination activities.

Subsequent distribution should appropriately acknowledge the original publication in JOLLT.

3.4. Attribution to the Original Publication

When sharing a published article, authors should provide sufficient bibliographic information to identify its original publication.

Relevant information includes the article title, author names, publication year, journal title, volume, issue, and DOI or official article URL, where available.

When users adapt, translate, transform, or build upon licensed material and distribute the resulting adaptation, they must apply the same license or an approved compatible license as required by CC BY-SA 4.0.

The ShareAlike requirement applies to the distribution of adapted material. It does not require users to apply CC BY-SA 4.0 to every independent work in which the original article is merely cited or discussed.

4.5. No Additional Restrictions

Users must not impose legal terms or technological measures that prevent others from exercising the permissions granted by the license.

Reuse remains subject to applicable laws and rights not necessarily covered by the Creative Commons license, including privacy, moral rights, and rights associated with third-party content.

Translations, adaptations, and other transformed versions of licensed material are permitted under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Commercial use does not eliminate the requirements for attribution, indication of changes, and ShareAlike licensing of distributed adaptations.

5.4. Citation and Academic Integrity

Creative Commons licensing does not replace normal scholarly citation obligations.

Users of JOLLT publications must distinguish between their own scholarly contributions and previously published ideas, evidence, findings, or other materials.

When JOLLT publications are cited or discussed in academic work, citations must follow the applicable scholarly referencing conventions.

5.5. Example of Appropriate Attribution

An appropriate attribution statement for reused or adapted material may be structured as follows:

Adapted from "[Article Title]" by [Author Name(s)], published in JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching, [Year], [DOI or Article URL]. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Changes were made to the original material.

The attribution statement should be adjusted to accurately describe the actual source and nature of reuse.

6.3. Research Data and Supplementary Materials

Research data and supplementary materials may be subject to separate legal, ethical, privacy, confidentiality, or repository-specific conditions.

The CC BY-SA 4.0 license applied to an article must not be interpreted as automatically overriding rights or restrictions associated with independently licensed datasets or third-party materials.

Authors are responsible for accurately identifying the availability, ownership, and permitted reuse of such materials where relevant.

7. LICENSE TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLICATION RECORDS

JOLLT is committed to providing clear and consistent information about the copyright status and licensing conditions of its scholarly publications.

Copyright and licensing information should be presented consistently across the journal website, manuscript submission system, published articles, and other relevant publication records.

7.1. Article-Level License Information

The copyright holder and applicable license should be identifiable through the article's publication record and available published files.

Where feasible, licensing information should also be included in appropriate article metadata to support indexing, scholarly discovery, and responsible reuse.

7.2. Previously Published Articles

The rights and licensing conditions applicable to an article are determined by the valid arrangements governing that publication.

Changes to the journal's licensing policy should not be represented as retroactively modifying the rights associated with previously published articles without the required authorization.
