Innovation Midwifery and Child Health Practice (IMCHP) does not require authors to transfer ownership of copyright to the journal or publisher as a condition of publication. Authors retain copyright in their published work.

By publishing in IMCHP, authors grant the journal the right of first publication and a non-exclusive right to publish, reproduce, distribute, identify, preserve, display, and disseminate the scholarly version of record in print, electronic, and future publication formats.

Unless otherwise stated for specific third-party material, articles published by IMCHP are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0). This license permits broad reuse while preserving attribution and ShareAlike requirements.

Authors retain the right to:

• Share and distribute the published article in accordance with the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
• Deposit the article in personal, institutional, disciplinary, or funder repositories.
• Use the article in teaching, presentations, lectures, workshops, and course materials.
• Reuse content in future books, theses, dissertations, reviews, compilations, or derivative scholarly works with proper acknowledgment of the original publication.
• Translate, adapt, or otherwise build upon the work under the applicable Creative Commons terms.
• Grant additional non-exclusive permissions consistent with rights already granted under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

IMCHP and its publisher may:

• Publish the article as the journal's Version of Record.
• Assign and register article metadata, DOI information, citation metadata, and publication identifiers.
• Distribute article metadata and links to indexing, discovery, library, preservation, repository, and scholarly infrastructure services used by the journal.

IMCHP supports author self-archiving and scholarly dissemination. Authors may deposit manuscript versions in appropriate repositories or academic platforms, subject to the conditions below.

Posting a manuscript as a preprint does not automatically constitute prior publication for IMCHP. Authors should disclose relevant preprints at submission and provide the preprint DOI or persistent link where available. If the article is later published in IMCHP, authors are encouraged to update the preprint record with a citation and DOI link to the Version of Record.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted or otherwise restricted third-party material where permission is required. A Creative Commons license applied to an IMCHP article does not automatically relicense third-party material that is separately credited or identified as being subject to another copyright or license.

• Users must attribute the original author(s) and publication appropriately.
• Adaptations must not misrepresent the original findings, conclusions, or authorship.
• Changes to reused material should be clearly indicated.
• Reuse must not imply endorsement by IMCHP, its editors, or the publisher.
• Authors' applicable moral rights remain respected subject to relevant law.
