License for Non-Commercial Reuse, version 1.0

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) holds copyright on all content published in ADA journals, unless otherwise noted. Individual readers may use the content as long as the work is properly cited and linked to the version of record, the use is educational and not for profit, and the work is not altered. ADA permission is required to post articles on third-party websites (unless otherwise specified below under “Article sharing and access”) or to include articles in educational materials that are sold to students or used in courses for which tuition or other fees are charged.

Agreeing to the Publisher’s license enables the Licensee to use the article anywhere in the world for non-commercial purposes, provided that the Licensee:

  • Cite the article using an appropriate bibliographic citation, e.g., authors, article title, journal, volume, page numbers, DOI, and the link to the definitive published version.
  • Use the article for educational and not-for-profit purposes only.
  • Maintain the integrity of the work by making no alterations.
  • Retain copyright notices and links to these terms and conditions.
  • Ensure that, for any content in the article that is identified as belonging to a third party, any re-use complies with the copyright policies of that third party.

By way of indication, “commercial purposes” include

  • Copying or downloading articles, or linking to such postings, for further redistribution, sale or licensing, for a fee;
  • Copying, downloading or posting by a site or service that incorporates advertising or sponsorship with such content;
  • Inclusion or incorporation of article content in other works or services (other than normal quotations with an appropriate citation) that is then available for sale or licensing, for a fee;
  • Use of articles or article content (other than normal quotations with appropriate citation) by for-profit organizations for promotional purposes, whether for a fee or otherwise;
  • Use for the purposes of monetary reward by means of sale, resale, license, loan, transfer, or other form of commercial exploitation.

Articles published by ADA may not be included without ADA permission in educational materials that are sold to students or used in courses for which tuition or other fees are charged.

ADA Open Choice
Beginning with manuscripts submitted on January 1, 2020, or later, Diabetes and Diabetes Care will offer an “Open Choice” option for authors who wish to make their final published article immediately accessible to nonsubscribers. By paying an additional article-processing charge, authors may elect to have their articles freely available on the journal's website when the final version of the article is published online and in print. Upon receipt of payment, ADA will also deposit on behalf of authors the final version of the published article into PubMed Central. Complete information regarding article-processing charges is available in complete policies for Financial Obligations.

As with all content published in ADA Journals, Open Choice articles are published under the terms of ADA’s Copyright and Reuse License, as described above.
