How do I complete the author rights and permissions declaration form?

For everyone

Open the secure link and confirm that the article title, authors and journal details are correct. Read each declaration carefully, then confirm that:

  • You are authorised to act for all listed co-authors.
  • The article is original and is not submitted to or published by another journal, or disclose any previous submission.
  • You understand the rights retained by the authors.
  • You permit the publisher to publish, distribute, index, archive and promote the article under the stated open-access terms.
< p> Upload your e-signature and submit the form. After screening, an assurance PDF recording the rights and permissions granted will be provided to you and the publisher.
