“Authors of papers pub­lished in Rock­e­feller Uni­ver­sity Press jour­nals (The Jour­nal of Cell Biol­ogy, The Jour­nal of Exper­i­men­tal Med­i­cine, or The Jour­nal of Gen­eral Phys­i­ol­ogy) now retain copy­right to their pub­lished work. This per­mits authors to reuse their own work in any way, as long as they attribute it to the orig­i­nal pub­li­ca­tion. Third par­ties may use our pub­lished mate­ri­als under a Cre­ative Com­mons license, six months after pub­li­ca­tion. ^{“  (Intro to Editorial)}
