Copyright Notice
Copyright and Author Rights and Responsibilities
SPEAK Foundation is wholly committed to the highest standards of management and social sciences. In all that we do, we work to ensure the widest possible access to the articles that we publish, to enhance the reputation of the author, the journal, its editor and editorial board, and the value that we add as an organization.
In order that we can do this properly and professionally, we ask authors to sign our Author Agreement assigning (or transferring) copyright to SPEAK Foundation. The transfer of copyright is standard practice in journal publishing. This enables us, to negotiate subsidiary licenses to database aggregators and document supply companies, and allows permissions to reproduce articles in books, course packs, electronic reserve or for library loan to be handled efficiently and with sensitivity to changing library and reader needs. This relieves authors of a time-consuming and costly administrative burden. It also enable us to defend and enforce author’s rights against plagiarism, copyright infringement, unauthorized use and, most important for authors’ professional reputation, breach of author’s moral rights.
