Hi Fabricio, Creative Commons has detailed instructions on how to apply the licenses: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
I'd rather add a section at the beginning of the document, not at the bottom. For instance, in Rnw documents, right after \tableofcontents I add \section*{License and copyright}\label{license} This work is Copyright, \copyright, [year] [Name], and is licensed under a \textbf{Creative Commons } Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License: \Burl{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/}. \centerline \ccbysa [Replace the license with the appropriate license and link] Before all of that, though, you probably want to think carefully about the license: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#what-things-should-i-think-about-before-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license (and this flowchart, http://creativecommons.org.au/content/licensing-flowchart.pdf, I find very helpful). Best, R. P.S. I am dealing with the "how do I mention a CC-BY license". Specifically, I am not addressing the "Does anyone know if including the same figure in the vignette and in the paper would result in copyright issues with the journal?". I am not a lawyer, and I've never seen this, but I can imagine a journal could ask you to produce a figure *specifically* for the paper, and then ask you to sign a copyright transfer of the figure, and the rest of the paper, to the journal. I am not sure if having the figure in the vignette under the CC license would help here. Though this scenario, I guess, would be unlikely if you publish the paper under an open access license. But, again, I am not a lawyer. On Thu, 01-July-2021, at 19:42:28, Fabricio de Almeida <fabricio_almeidasi...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, Laurent. > > Thank you for your suggestion.
