Copyright and Originality

In order for AJME to publish and disseminate research papers, we need publishing rights. This is determined by a publishing agreement between the author and AJME. This agreement deals with the transfer or license of the copyright to AJME and authors retain significant rights to use and share their own published papers. AJME supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research.

For the AJME journal the following steps apply:

1- Authors download, fill up and sign the following two forms:

where they will have copyright but grant broad publishing and distribution rights to the AJME, including the right to publish the paper on AJME's website.

2- The AJME makes the paper available online when it is finally accepted after the peer-review process.
