Author Copyright Agreement
License to publish in a journal
For all articles* that we publish, a signed Author Copyright Agreement is required.
By submitting your article to one of our journals, you and all co-authors must agree to the terms of this license. Upon acceptance of your article you will be asked to select and sign the Copyright Agreement, and return it as soon as possible to prevent any delays in the production process for your article. Without the signed form we will be unable to publish the article.
*A small number of journals are co-published by IOS Press with a partner publisher and may have a different author copyright agreement. If applicable, this information is given on the relevant journal page.
