Copyright Notice

Authors whose articles are accepted for publication in JSeD transfer the copyright to the Publisher of Widyagama University of Malang (UWG Press). Copyright includes exclusive rights to reproduce and deliver articles in all forms and media, including reprints, photographs, microfilms and any other similar reproduction, as well as translation.  However, authors retain significant rights to use and share their own published articles. The publisher supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research and these rights in any database.

Authors have rights to a large range of uses of their articles, including the use by their employing institutions. Author rights can be implemented without the need to obtain specific permission, including wide-ranging rights to use their works in the following areas:

  • use for classroom teaching by author or author's institution, presentation at a meeting or conference, and distribution of copies to attendees,
  • use for internal training by author's institution
  • distribution to colleagues for research use,
  • use in subsequent compilations of author's works,
  • inclusion in a thesis or dissertation,
  • reuse of portions or extracts from the article in other works (with full acknowledgment of final article),
  • preparation of derivative works other than commercial purposes (with full acknowledgment of final article), and
  • voluntary posting on open websites operated by the author or author institution for scholarly purposes,

The JSeD policy in managing copyright transfer is formulated through a statement letter agreed upon by the corresponding author (download author's statement letter). This statement letter must be uploaded as part of supplementary files during manuscript submission.
