Copyrights

The Global Dental NewsJournal is a unique publication: we have no ego problems when it comes to other peoples’ work.

We don’t think it’s right to demand that you give up total control of copyright just to get published. Most, if not all, dental publications demand that you not only relinquish all rights to your work, but also that theirs be the first publication in which the article is published.

We don’t see it that way: If you want to publish with us - good! We need you. If you want to publish with us first - great. But you can still submit your article for publication in other journals, if you like, even if it appears in ours. Don’t forget: this is a world-wide medium, not just a 10,000-subscriber publication. And our subscribers are our journal.

If you are already published in another journal and would like to republish with us for wider audience exposure - feel free. We don’t mind being second fiddle; we just want the knowledge. BUT, you will need to get a release from the publication that took your rights in the first place. Use the following statement as a guide and include it with all pertinent signatures:

The _______________ (publishing house, journal, etc.) has released the article titled __________________ . The authors ________________ (names) have transferred all copyright ownership to the above named publication when the above-named article was exclusively published on ______________(date). A one-time release to said authors to reprint the above named article in The Global Dental NewsJournal, in whole or in part, is granted.

Be sure all appropriate signatures appear.
