Does every author in a journal publication require a paid license?

Please follow these guidelines when publishing a BioRender figure.

General Publishing Requirements:

• All figures intended for publication must be exported with a paid subscription.
• Generate a Publication License in BioRender, and ensure each figure is cited in the publication using the unique figure URL provided in the Publication License.

Listing Requirements Based on User Type:

Academic Individual Student, Postdoc, or Industry Individual License Users: You can publish figures if you have an active subscription and are listed as the first, co-first, co-senior or last author of the publication.

Academic Lab, Institutional, Industry Team, or Enterprise License Users: You do not need to be listed as an author to publish figures.
