Copyright and licence
Authors keep the copyright in articles published in the GCSB Journal of Converged Security. Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) licence, so anyone may share and adapt them with proper credit.
Third-party material inside an article is excluded from the licence where its credit line says so.
Fees
There are no submission or publication fees.
DOIs and Zenodo
Published articles and approved GCSB documents are deposited in the GCSB Zenodo community and receive a DOI, unless they already have one. Published records are preserved permanently. Corrections are issued as new versions; retracted articles stay online and are clearly marked.
Standards, procedures and playbooks
Framework documents are Board-approved publications, not peer-reviewed articles. Their own licence and approval status are stated in each document and Zenodo record.
