Authors who publish in Religious: Jurnal Studi Agama-agama dan Lintas Budaya agree to the following terms concerning copyright, publication rights, licensing, and the sharing of their work.

1. Copyright Ownership and Publication Rights
Authors retain copyright in their work. Publication in this journal does not require the transfer of copyright ownership to the journal or its publisher.
Authors grant the journal the right of first publication and non-exclusive permission to publish, reproduce, distribute, display, and preserve the article as part of the scholarly record. The work is made available under the publication license described below.
Prior sharing of a manuscript as a preprint, as permitted in Section 4, does not by itself prevent consideration for first formal journal publication. Authors must disclose any previous dissemination or related publication when submitting.
2. License and Conditions of Reuse
Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0). Readers should consult the license accompanying each article, particularly for previously published content.
The license permits sharing and adaptation, including commercial reuse, without separate permission, subject to these conditions:
- Attribution: Give appropriate credit, retain applicable notices, link to the source and license, and identify changes. Credit the article’s initial publication in Religious without implying endorsement by its authors or the journal.
- ShareAlike: When distributing an adaptation, use the same license or a license recognized as compatible with CC BY-SA 4.0.
- No additional restrictions: Do not impose legal terms or technological restrictions that prevent others from exercising the licensed permissions.
Permissions already granted under the license cannot be revoked while its conditions are met. Applicable copyright exceptions remain unaffected. The full license terms govern reuse.
3. Additional Distribution Arrangements
Authors may enter into separate, additional arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of their published work, including deposit in an institutional repository or inclusion in a book, with acknowledgment of its initial publication in this journal.
Such arrangements must not withdraw or restrict permissions already granted to users under the article’s Creative Commons license. Authors should inform any subsequent publisher of the article’s prior publication and existing license.
Reuse in another publication must be transparently identified. Permission to redistribute an article does not justify presenting previously published work as a new, original journal article.
4. Preprints and Self-Archiving
Authors may share their manuscripts on preprint servers, institutional repositories, or personal websites before and during submission. Such sharing can facilitate scholarly discussion and access to developing research.
- Before acceptance: Clearly identify the shared document as a preprint or submitted manuscript. Do not describe it as accepted or published by the journal before the corresponding editorial decision or publication.
- At submission: Disclose publicly available versions and provide their links or identifiers in the cover letter. Submit anonymized review files as required by the Author Guidelines. Public preprints may make author identities discoverable despite these precautions.
- After acceptance: Authors may deposit the accepted manuscript without an embargo, clearly identifying it as the accepted version.
- After publication: Authors may deposit and share the published version without an embargo. Include the full citation, DOI or article link, and the applicable copyright and license statements. Where possible, update earlier versions with a link to the published article.
Posting a preprint does not authorize simultaneous submission to another journal. Authors must disclose overlapping publications and follow the journal’s originality and exclusive-submission requirements.
5. Author Responsibilities and Third-Party Material
Authors must have the authority to grant the publication rights described in this notice. All co-authors must approve publication and the applicable licensing terms. Any institutional, employment, funding, or third-party rights that affect publication must be disclosed to the editor before publication.
Authors are responsible for obtaining necessary permissions for copyrighted material incorporated into their work, including illustrations, photographs, tables, and substantial extracts, unless an applicable exception permits the use.
Material not covered by the article’s Creative Commons license must be clearly identified in a credit line specifying its source and applicable permissions or restrictions. Users may need separate authorization to reuse such material.
Open licensing does not remove obligations concerning participant confidentiality, consent, privacy, or other rights. Authors must ensure that publication and sharing of research materials respect these obligations.
