Authors publishing in the Journal agree to the following copyright transfer agreement.

Transfer of Copyright

So that the Author(s) and Plattsburgh State University journal of Undergraduate Research, Scientia discipulorum,  may be protected from the consequences of unauthorized use, author(s) must grant and assign rights to publish an accepted manuscript or data paper and any associated supplemental material (work) in all languages and in any other form, in the United States and in any other countries, and to assign others the right to do so. The Author(s) shall retain the right to quote from, reprint, translate and reproduce the work, in part or in full, in any book or article he/she may later write, or in any public presentation. The Author may not post the work in a publicly accessible form on another web site.  If the Author(s) reproduces a portion of the work in a book, article or other media, the legend or caption of any table or figure that represents data from the work, in original or modified form, shall cite the work as the source of those data.  

    The Journal policy will be to release copyright for Author’s who seek to use published Scientia discipulorum material in a national or international level professional journal.  In addition, the Author(s) shall have the right to photocopy the work for his/her own use or public distribution.  If the Author(s) reprints, translates or photocopies the work, the original copyright notice, as it appears in the Journal, must be included. The Author retains all proprietary rights other than copyright, such as patent rights.  By submitting a manuscript, the authors agree that the copyright (or equivalent rights) for their article will be transferred to Scientia discipulorum  if and when the article is accepted for publication.  After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the authors must complete and submit the copyright release form. The official form will be prepared by the Editor and sent to the corresponding author, who will be expected to obtain the signatures of any other authors.

In submitting a copyright release, the author(s) represents that he/she is the sole proprietor of the work; that it does not infringe any existing copyright; that it has not heretofore been published; and that to the best of his/her knowledge it contains no matter libelous or other material which invades the right of privacy or which infringes on any proprietary right. The Author(s) will hold harmless Plattsburgh State University against any claim, demand, or recovery finally sustained in any proceedings brought against Plattsburgh State University by reason of any violation of any proprietary right or copyright, or any unlawful matter contained in the work.  If previously copyrighted material is included in the work, the author(s) must confirm that permission for its reuse has been received from the original copyright holder.  


Ejournal Policy on previously published material:

The publisher requires that all submissions be original contributions and that full disclosure redundant publication must be made in the cover letter at the time of submission.  Under certain circumstances, use of the same information in two or more publications is appropriate when new information allows reinterpretation of previously published data.  It is the Editor-in-Chief's responsibility to decide whether specific duplications are appropriate and the author’s responsibility to obtain permission for use of any previously published material.  A necessary test for prior publication is whether the author can legally transfer copyright to the Plattsburgh State University ejournal of Undergraduate Research.
