Copyright Information

Copyright Information

Copyright information refers to the legal rights and protections granted to creators of original works, including scholarly articles published in academic journals. The copyright holder is typically the author or a designated entity, such as a publisher or institution. Copyright provides the author with exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and modify their work. In the context of academic publishing, journals often require authors to transfer or license their copyright to the publisher as part of the publication agreement. This allows the publisher to protect the article, control its distribution, and enforce copyright infringement. However, authors may retain certain rights, such as the right to use their work for personal or non-commercial purposes, and they can often share their work through preprints, institutional repositories, or personal websites. It is essential for authors to understand the copyright policies of the journal they are submitting to and consider the implications for sharing and reusing their work to ensure compliance with copyright regulations.
