HOW DOES THE PUBLICATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WORK?
The Publication Rights Agreement is a document that must be signed by all submitting authors and their supervisors, if applicable, upon submission of an article. It states that these authors consent for the publication of the content of the article, and that they retain all copyrights to any of their research and original data and may publish in other journals at the journal’s discretion. OSURJ acknowledges that all information submitted by the author(s) is their intellectual property and therefore any republication of such property is not allowed without written consent from all the submitting authors.

OSURJ publishes online annually, and our 2023-24 issue will be released in February 2024.
