Author Rights

We require authors to transfer non-exclusive publishing rights to the publisher to enable BRIN Publishing to publish and distribute research articles. This rights transfer is established through a publishing agreement between the authors and BRIN Publishing. The agreement explicitly addresses the transfer or licensing of copyright for publishing purposes to BRIN Publishing, while authors maintain the necessary rights to utilize and share their published articles. BRIN Publishing fully supports authors in sharing, disseminating, and maximizing the impact of their research, including within any databases.

As an author publishing in AMERTA, you possess a broad range of rights for various article uses, including within your institute or company. These author rights can be exercised without the requirement of obtaining explicit permission. When publishing in AMERTA, authors enjoy extensive rights to utilize their works for educational and scholarly purposes, eliminating the need to seek permission (but it should follow the open access license of Creative Common CC-by-SA License) include :

Publishing Right 

By submitting a manuscript, the authors acknowledge and agree that, if accepted for publication, the article's non-exclusive right for publishing (publishing right) shall be assigned or transferred to the Publisher of AMERTA journal (BRIN Publishing).

Once an article is accepted, authors will receive a notification email, including a 'Copyright Transfer Agreement for Publishing' form. This form, known as the CTAP (Copyright Transfer Agreement for Publishing), needs to be completed by the authors. The agreement can be conveniently accessed online.

AMERTA journal and BRIN Publishing, along with the Editors and the Editorial Board, are committed to upholding the highest standards to prevent the publication of incorrect or misleading data, opinions, or statements in the journal. However, it is essential to note that the authors and advertisers hold the sole and exclusive responsibility for the content of the articles and advertisements published in AMERTAjournal.

It is important to remember that while we request a transfer of copyright for publishing through the CTAP, our journal ensures that the authors retain (or are granted back) significant scholarly rights, as mentioned earlier.
