You must obtain the necessary permission to reuse third-party material in your article. The use of short extracts of text and some other types of material is usually permitted, on a limited basis, for criticism and review without securing formal permission. If you wish to include any material (such as data, figures...) in your paper for which you do not hold copyright, and which is not covered by this informal agreement, you will need to obtain written permission from the copyright owner before submission.
Therefore, the author's retention of copyright and full publishing rights does not mean that they are not subject to any restrictions, but rather that they need to abide by basic academic norms and ethics. Under the condition of avoiding duplicate publication and non-commercial use, they can disseminate and exchange research results that have already been published by MSPL Press for academic purposes. Otherwise, MSPL has the right to withdraw the published manuscript and publish necessary statements on the website.
Building Interdisciplinary Research Networks
This includes conferences, workshops, online forums, and other platforms that facilitate dialogue and collaboration among researchers and stakeholders. By creating a vibrant community of scholars and practitioners, JACAC aims to accelerate the pace of research and discovery in the field of ancient Chinese arts and crafts.
Avoiding Copyright Infringement
Summarize or paraphrase borrowed material whenever possible to avoid copyright infringement. Ensure your paraphrasing substantially transforms the original text while maintaining the core idea.
When quoting is necessary, keep excerpts brief and limited to what's essential for your argument. Extended quotations almost always require explicit permission from the copyright holder.
Secure all necessary permissions before submitting your manuscript to a journal. Start the permission process early, as it can take weeks or months to receive responses from copyright holders.
Keep detailed records of all permission requests and approvals. Many journals require copies of permission letters during the submission process, and having organized documentation will prevent publication delays.
