COPYRIGHT ASSIGNMENT FORM

It is required that authors furnish a formal written Consent to Publish. It is also strongly recommended that Authors provide a Transfer of Copyright to the Publisher. The signed consent of the author(s)’ to publish gives the publisher to publish the Work. The signed transfer of copyright empowers the publisher on behalf of the author(s) to protect the work and its image against any unauthorized use, and to properly authorize dissemination of the work. This includes printed publications, off prints, reprints, electronic files, licensed photocopies, microform editions, translations, and document delivery. It also covers secondary information sources such as abstracting, reviewing and indexing services, including converting the Work into machine-readable form, and storing it in electronic databases.
The publisher hereby requests that the author(s) complete and return this form promptly so that the work may be finalized for publication. Formal written transfer of copyright from author(s) to the publisher is required for each article. The copyright covers the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article as well as accompanying abstract in any, including electronic, form.
