Copyright Statement

The "Copyright Agreement and Authorship Acknowledgement" is a crucial document in the publication process of the Neuro-Cell Molecular Research Journal. Here's a summary of its key points:

  • License Agreement: Authors agree to license their articles under Creative Commons Non-Commercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0). This license allows third parties to share and adapt the content for non-commercial purposes with proper attribution to the original work.
  • Publication Authorization: Authors grant Neuro-Cell Molecular Research Journal the authority to publish the article and identify itself as the original publisher.
  • Copyright Ownership: The copyright of the article remains with the author(s). This means that the author(s) hold the rights to their work.
  • Authorization to Publish: By signing this agreement, the author(s) grant the Neuro-Cell Molecular ResearchJournal the authorization to publish the article. This allows the journal to include the article in its publication.
  • Original Publisher Declaration: The document includes a declaration that the Neuro-Cell Molecular Research Journal is recognized as the original publisher of the article.
  • Signature Requirement: All authors must sign the "Copyright Agreement and Authorship Acknowledgement" document.
  • Uploading the Document: Authors are required to upload this document as part of the submission process.
  • Third-Party Usage Rights: Authors grant any third party the right to freely use the article. The condition is that the original authors and citation details must be properly identified.
  • Preservation of Integrity and Ownership: Nothing in this license impairs or restricts an author's right to preserve the integrity and ownership of their work.
  • Commercial Rights: All commercial rights related to the article belong to the authors.
  • Non-Acceptance for Publication: If the article is not accepted for publication, the contract expires, and neither the journal nor the publisher retains any rights over the content.

These terms provide a clear framework for authors, allowing them to retain copyright and control over the integrity of their work while granting specific permissions for publication and non-commercial use. It's a common approach in academic publishing to strike a balance between the rights of authors, the journal, and potential users of the content.
