Jurnal Sosial Humaniora (JSH) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by CV. Surya Buana through its scholarly publishing platform, Surya Buana Consulting.

JSH is committed to the open dissemination of scholarly knowledge, the protection of authors' intellectual property rights, and the responsible reuse of published research in the social sciences and humanities.

The journal publishes scholarly articles under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0).

This License Policy explains the permissions granted to readers and other users, the conditions for reuse and adaptation, the responsibilities of authors, and the treatment of third-party materials.

The policy applies to scholarly articles published in Bahasa Indonesia and English, subject to the copyright and license information applicable to each individual publication.

1. Applicable Publication License

JSH adopts the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0) as its standard open-access publication license.

Official License: CC BY-SA 4.0 International

Full Legal Code: Creative Commons Legal Code

The license grants users worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive permissions to reproduce, share, and adapt licensed materials in accordance with its terms.

The license facilitates scholarly dissemination while ensuring that authors receive appropriate attribution and that publicly distributed adaptations comply with the ShareAlike requirement.

The official Creative Commons legal code governs the interpretation of the license.

2. Rights Granted to Readers and Other Users

Under CC BY-SA 4.0, readers, researchers, educators, institutions, publishers, and other users may exercise the following rights, subject to the license conditions.

2.1. Sharing and Redistribution

Users may copy, reproduce, download, distribute, print, and share licensed articles in any medium or format.

These permissions include sharing articles through scholarly websites, institutional repositories, educational platforms, research networks, and other lawful distribution channels.

2.2. Adaptation and Translation

Users may remix, transform, translate, summarize, and build upon licensed material. Adaptations must comply with the applicable attribution and ShareAlike requirements when they are distributed.

2.3. Commercial and Non-Commercial Reuse

Licensed material may be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Examples include scholarly publications, educational materials, professional resources, books, training materials, and other lawful products or services.

Commercial reuse is not prohibited by CC BY-SA 4.0, provided the user complies with the license terms and any applicable third-party rights.

2.4. Research and Educational Use

Articles may be used in teaching, academic discussion, literature reviews, research synthesis, scholarly presentations, and other legitimate academic activities.

Where copyright permission is required, the use must comply with the applicable Creative Commons conditions.

No separate permission from JSH or the authors is required for activities already authorized by the license.

3. Attribution Requirements

Users who share or adapt licensed materials must provide appropriate attribution to the original authors and preserve relevant attribution information.

Attribution should include, where reasonably practicable:

  1. The names of the original authors.
  2. The title of the article.
  3. The name of the journal, Jurnal Sosial Humaniora (JSH).
  4. The publication details and DOI or original article URL.
  5. A reference or hyperlink to the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
  6. An indication of whether the original material has been modified.

Users must retain applicable copyright and license notices supplied with the original material.

Attribution must be given in a reasonable manner appropriate to the medium and context of reuse.

Attribution must not imply that the original authors, JSH, or CV. Surya Buana endorse the reuse, adaptation, or subsequent publication.

4. ShareAlike Requirements

The ShareAlike condition applies when users publicly distribute adapted material derived from a CC BY-SA 4.0-licensed work.

Such adaptations must be distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0 or another license permitted as compatible under the official Creative Commons terms.

Users must not impose additional restrictions that prevent recipients from exercising the rights granted under the applicable license.

A direct and unmodified reproduction of a licensed article does not, by itself, create a new adaptation requiring a separate adaptation license.

Inclusion of an unchanged licensed article in a collection does not automatically require the entire independent collection to be licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The license applicable to the included article must nevertheless be respected.

Translations and other adaptations that are distributed must comply with the applicable ShareAlike conditions.

5. Copyright Ownership and First Publication Rights

Authors retain copyright ownership of their original scholarly works, subject to the rights applicable to each publication.

By agreeing to publish an article in JSH, the authors grant the journal the non-exclusive right of first publication and authorize its publication and distribution under the applicable Creative Commons license.

JSH does not acquire exclusive copyright ownership merely because an article is submitted, reviewed, accepted, or published.

Authors remain entitled to exercise their retained rights, including further scholarly dissemination and non-exclusive reuse of their work.

Detailed provisions concerning copyright ownership, publication authorization, and author responsibilities are explained in the journal's Copyright and Licensing Policy.

6. Author Self-Archiving and Repository Distribution

JSH supports the dissemination and preservation of scholarly research through institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal academic websites, and other legitimate scholarly platforms.

Authors may share preprints, accepted manuscripts, and published versions of their articles, subject to the rights and confidentiality requirements applicable to the relevant version.

JSH does not impose an embargo period on the sharing of articles published under its open-access license.

When sharing the published version, authors should provide:

  • A complete bibliographic citation.
  • The DOI or permanent article URL.
  • An acknowledgment of first publication in JSH.
  • The applicable Creative Commons license information.

Repository deposits and subsequent scholarly distribution must not misrepresent a preprint or accepted manuscript as the final version of record.

7. Third-Party Materials and Excluded Content

The CC BY-SA 4.0 license applies only to material that the relevant rights holder is authorized to license under its terms.

Articles may contain third-party materials, including photographs, figures, tables, maps, illustrations, archival materials, research instruments, and other copyrighted content.

Third-party materials are not automatically covered by the article's CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

Where third-party material is excluded from the article's license, the applicable copyright holder, source, license, permission, or restriction should be clearly identified.

Authors are responsible for obtaining necessary publication permissions and communicating restrictions to the Editorial Team.

Readers and users must obtain additional permissions for uses not authorized by the applicable license or copyright exceptions.

8. Moral Rights, Privacy, and Other Legal Rights

Creative Commons licensing does not eliminate rights that exist independently of the licensed copyright.

Relevant rights may include:

  • Authors' moral rights under applicable law.
  • Privacy and personal data protection rights.
  • Rights concerning identifiable research participants.
  • Publicity and personality rights.
  • Patent, trademark, and other intellectual property rights not granted by the license.

Users must not falsely attribute authorship, misrepresent the origin of scholarly materials, or imply endorsement by the original authors, JSH, or CV. Surya Buana.

Reuse of identifiable personal information or sensitive research materials may require additional authorization, even where the surrounding article is openly licensed.

9. License Notices and Publication Metadata

JSH seeks to display clear and consistent licensing information on article landing pages, published full-text files, and relevant scholarly metadata.

Standard License Statement:

"This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0)."

Standard Author Copyright Notice:

"Copyright © [Publication Year] [Author Name(s)]."

The copyright holder, publication year, and license must correspond to the rights applicable to the individual article.

Where technically supported, license information should be included in metadata distributed to DOI registration and scholarly indexing services.

10. Historical Publications and Changes to Licensing Terms

JSH recognizes that individual articles may have been published under copyright statements or licensing arrangements different from those currently adopted as the journal's standard.

The rights and licenses applicable to earlier publications must be assessed according to their publication records and relevant agreements.

JSH will not retrospectively alter an existing copyright arrangement or valid publication license without an appropriate legal basis and the necessary authorization.

Valid Creative Commons permissions already granted to users cannot be arbitrarily withdrawn where the applicable license terms continue to be fulfilled.

Changes to the journal's standard licensing policy will apply prospectively unless otherwise lawfully authorized and appropriately documented.

11. License Compliance and Infringement Concerns

Users are responsible for complying with the conditions of CC BY-SA 4.0 when exercising rights granted under the license.

Failure to satisfy applicable license terms may affect authorization to use licensed material as described in the official legal code.

Allegations of copyright infringement, inaccurate licensing information, unauthorized reproduction, or misuse of third-party material may be submitted to the JSH Editorial Office.

The Editorial Team may request clarification, verify copyright ownership, examine publication records, or take appropriate corrective action.

Concerns involving published articles are addressed in accordance with the journal's Publication Ethics, Copyright and Licensing Policy, and Correction and Retraction Policy, as appropriate.

12. Policy Implementation and Editorial Responsibility

The JSH Editorial Team is responsible for implementing licensing arrangements, maintaining accurate publication notices, and coordinating responses to licensing concerns.

CV. Surya Buana, as the official publisher, provides institutional and administrative support while respecting authors' intellectual property rights and the academic independence of the Editorial Team.

This policy applies to published articles in Bahasa Indonesia and English, subject to the terms applicable to each individual article.

JSH may review and update this policy to reflect changes in applicable law, scholarly publishing standards, or journal publication arrangements.

Policy revisions do not automatically revoke or replace licenses previously granted to the public.
