The Copyright Agreement & Declaration Form serves as a formal and binding document that allows the authors of a research paper to transfer their copyright ownership to Amitrakshar Publishers upon acceptance for publication in the Amitrakshar Internati 08onal Journal of Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research (AIJITR). This agreement is essential for ensuring that the legal rights concerning the distribution, modification, and use of the submitted work are clearly defined. In this document, authors are required to declare several key points related to the originality and status of their manuscript.
1. Transfer of Copyright:
By signing this form, the author(s) of the research paper agree to transfer the copyright ownership of their submitted manuscript to Amitrakshar Publishers upon acceptance for publication. The transfer of copyright includes the right to reproduce, distribute, and display the work in any form, whether in print, electronic, or other mediums. The publisher is then responsible for managing the use of the content under this copyright, ensuring that it is distributed in a way that maximizes the paper's reach while maintaining legal protections.
2. Consent for Publication:
The authors provide explicit consent for the publication of their research paper in AIJITR. This is a crucial step in the publication process, as it ensures that the authors are fully aware of and agree to the distribution of their work through this journal. The journal, being peer-reviewed, publishes papers that contribute to fields including social science, science, and Indian knowledge systems.
3. Originality and Plagiarism:
The author(s) affirm that the manuscript submitted is their original contribution and has not been copied from other core works. This section of the form acts as a declaration of the authenticity of the work, stating that the research has not been plagiarized. It protects the journal from any legal repercussions related to plagiarism or copyright infringement, as the authors take responsibility for the content's originality.
4. Intellectual Property Rights:
The form includes a section where authors affirm that their manuscript does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party. If the article includes any content, data, images, or information that could potentially violate another party's rights, the authors agree to indemnify the journal, ensuring that they will bear the responsibility for any legal issues that may arise due to such violations.
5. No Prior or Simultaneous Submission:
Authors are required to declare that their manuscript is not under consideration for publication in any other journal, nor has it been previously published in whole or in part. This prevents issues of duplicate publication, ensuring that the work published in AIJITR is unique and first-hand. The form ensures that AIJITR holds the exclusive rights to publish the article, and the authors must not submit the same work to other journals while it is under review with AIJITR.
6. Permission to Edit and Modify:
The author(s) authorize Amitrakshar Publishers to make any necessary edits or modifications to the manuscript to make it suitable for publication. This includes formatting, language correction, and other editorial processes that may be required to align the paper with the journal's standards. Authors are usually consulted during this process, but by signing this form, they give the publisher the authority to implement changes as needed to prepare the paper for publication.
7. Declaration of Authorship:
All authors involved in the creation of the manuscript must sign the Copyright Agreement & Declaration Form. The primary or corresponding author typically coordinates this process and ensures that the signatures of all co-authors are included before submitting the form. This serves as a confirmation that all authors are in agreement with the terms set out in the form and have contributed to the manuscript's development.
8. Process and Submission:
Once completed and signed, the form must be scanned and sent via email along with the soft copy of the paper to the editor at editor@amitrakshar.co.in This is a mandatory step for all authors wishing to publish in AIJITR, ensuring that the legal framework surrounding the publication is in place before the paper is reviewed and potentially accepted for publication.
The Copyright Agreement & Declaration Form is a comprehensive document designed to protect both the authors and the publisher in the publication process. It ensures that the rights to the work are clearly defined, that the authors' contributions are original and legally sound, and that the manuscript can be legally and ethically disseminated through AIJITR. By signing this form, the authors take responsibility for the content of their paper and agree to its publication under the terms set out by Amitrakshar Publishers.
