Copyright Pertaining the Manuscripts Accepted for Publication

Manuscripts accepted for publication after the review process are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license by AndHD. This license grants third parties the right to copy and redistribute the manuscript in any medium or format but prohibits commercial use. If the work is used for non-commercial purposes, it is obligatory to refer to the manuscript, to provide a link to the license and, if the work has been modified, to provide information. The fulfillment of these conditions does not imply that AndHD, as the licensee, approves third parties and the manner of use by third parties. The use of the manuscripts by the authors is also subject to this license. The copyright transferred with this form also covers the final version of the manuscript that is ready for publication after changes are made in line with the suggestions of the editors and reviewers.

Copyright Pertaining the Rejected Manuscripts 

If the manuscript is not deemed suitable for publication for any reason, the copyright is returned to the author.
