Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization that enables the sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. To this end, it offers a collection of open licenses. These licenses are free and open for anyone to use.

CC licenses are a means for the copyright owner to specify the terms of use of a work in a human and machine-readable way, allowing the user to learn the terms of use of the work without contacting the copyright owner.

CC licenses work with the concept of "some rights reserved" rather than "all rights reserved". There are six different license combinations based on four main conditions. In addition, PDM and CC0 provide two other tools for distinguishing works in the public domain.

For the use of works shared on the Internet with CC licenses by the copyright owner, it eliminates the step of obtaining permission from the author. Thus, it accelerates sharing. It unlocks the full potential of the Internet, encourages creativity and strengthens innovation. It is not an alternative to existing intellectual property laws, it works together.

CC licenses are machine-readable. See the CC REL page for standard definitions of licenses that can be read by software, search engines and other similar technological infrastructures. Using these definitions in metadata descriptions of websites and resources ensures the exchange of accurate and complete data and serves the principle of interoperability.

You can license the content of your website or blog by selecting CC licenses, thereby communicating the terms of use to the end user. To do so, please visit the Choose License page. Likewise, on YouTube, Flickr, etc., where you upload your work, you can select one of the CC licenses in the upload steps and indicate the terms of use in the same way with the help of CC license icons (e.g. CC-BY).

You can get basic information about CC in the short presentation given in this link. For other introductory documents, presentations, videos, please visit the Resources page. For good practices on how to cite CC-licensed sources, see this page.

The Frequently Asked Questions page, where we list questions we often receive, may answer some of your questions about CC licenses.

Academic Journals and CC Usage

Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools create a balance within the traditional "all rights reserved" structure established by law. Our tools enable everyone from individual creators to large corporations and institutions to grant copyright permissions to their original works in a simple, standardized way.

MagazinePark and CC

• DergiPark, which provides services within the framework of a policy that supports and encourages Open Access, provides awareness to journals on the use of CC and provides technical infrastructure for implementation.
• It does not interfere in the internal functioning, publication policy and terms of use (use, dissemination, reuse) of journals. For this reason, the choice and application of CC license belongs to the journals themselves.
• DergiPark can identify journals that do not have a CC license and inform and guide them to use a license.

CC Licenses

All Creative Commons licenses have many important features in common. Each license helps copyright holders. Each Creative Commons license also allows licensors to take credit for their copyrighted works. Each Creative Commons license is valid worldwide and (because they are built on copyrights) is enforceable for the duration of the applicable copyright. On top of these common features, they also give licensors the option to offer additional permissions on how their works can be used.

CC licenses operate under the motto "some rights reserved" rather than "all rights reserved". There are six different license combinations based on four main conditions. Apart from these, PDM and CC0 offer two other tools for distinguishing works in the public domain. For the use of works shared on the internet with CC licenses by the copyright owner, it eliminates the step of obtaining additional permission from the author. Thus, it accelerates sharing. Unleashes the full potential of the Internet. It encourages creativity and strengthens innovation. It is not an alternative to existing intellectual property laws, it works together.
