We recommend our authors to publish exclusively under CC BY licenses. CC BY is currently the only license type where the author does not transfer exclusive rights to the publisher. Therefore, the Elsevier contract is designed in such a way that authors should be guided to choose this CC BY license if possible. In this way, authors choose the license under which they retain their copyright usage rights and no exclusive rights are transferred to the publisher.
