Copyright Policy

The content found in journals published by Displaycia is subject to copyright protection. This page provides information and guidance regarding the copyright regulations that pertain to all of our journals. As soon as an original work is documented or placed in a permanent or fixed form, it automatically receives copyright protection. Copyright provides protection for written works, visual images, diagrams, and graphical representations. Generally, copyright protection persists for several years after the death of the original author or the last living co-author. Thus, the fact that a work is considered old does not necessarily indicate that it is free from copyright protection. The submission of a manuscript to our journal requires authors to certify that they are authorized by their co-authors, that the work has not been published in any formal context, that it is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere, that they have received approval from all authors and the relevant authorities of the institutions involved, that they hold the rights to reproduce any material that has been published or copyrighted previously, and that they agree to the license and copyright agreement. We are entirely dedicated to maintaining transparency concerning matters of copyright and ownership rights. It is imperative that we obtain the legal rights from the authors of the material before we can publish it in our journals. Authors maintain ownership of their original works when they submit papers to our journals. The authors can create copies of articles for individual use, including applications in academic teaching and various scholarly activities. Authors can be confident that their work will not face any further legal or technological limitations that might impede its lawful use and distribution by others. Authors possess the right to present their articles at conferences and meetings, as well as to distribute copies. As part of the open-access framework, authors provide permission for the material in question to be accessed by individuals, organizations, and institutions. As a component of the open-access model, authors authorize other individuals, organizations, and institutions to access the designated material. Other parties may access materials by quoting from them; however, they are required to provide full credit to the author or authors.
