1. Formal written transfer of copyright from the author(s) to the
publishers
for all contributions to appear in the journal is required for the
following
reasons:
(a) ownership of copyright by publishers on behalf of their journal should improve international protection against infringement;
(b) requests by third parties to reproduce copyright material will be handled efficiently and consistently, for example through copyright licensing schemes, in accordance with a general policy which is sensitive both to changes in copyright legislation and the general desirability of encouraging the dissemination of knowledge;
(c) the publishers can store the copyright material in machine readable form for supplying copies of individual articles on demand;
(d) the publishers can authorize and organize indexing and abstracting services in print and database form to improve access to the copyright material.
2. In assigning your copyright, you are not forfeiting your right to
use
your contribution elsewhere. This you may do after seeking permission
from
the journal and subject to appropriate acknowledgment.
3. All requests to reprint your contribution, or a substantial part
of
it, in another publication will be subject to your approval (which we
will
assume is given if we have not heard from you within four weeks of
writing
to you at your last know address).
4. The journal is registered with Copyright Clearance Center, a
non-profitmaking
organisation which offers centralised licensing arrangements for
photocopying
within the USA.
5. It is understood that in some cases copyright will be held by the
contributor's
employer. If so, the journal requires non-exclusive permission to deal
with
requests from third parties, on the understanding that any requests
from
third parties will be handled in accordance with paragraph 3 above
(i.e.
you and not your employer will be asked to approve the proposed use).
6. In the case of reprints the content of the article may be stored
electronically
and then printed to meet individual requests. The author hereby agrees
to
the journal making the necessary arrangements to include his published
article
in a document delivery service.
