In order to publish materials in our journal we need the author's (and all co-authors) agreement.

By submitting materials to our journal, the author and all co-authors agree to the terms of this license. They do not need to fill out a copyright form for confirmation.

By submitting materials to our journal the author and all co-authors grant us the exclusive right to both reproduce and distribute their material (including the abstract) throughout the world in electronic and printed medium, and to authorize others (including International Databases, and other document distributors) to do the same. The authors and all co-authors agree that we may publish and distribute their materials.

By submitting their materials for publication in our journal, the authors and all co-authors promise that:

  • the materials are their original works;
  • they have not previously been published;
