Submission Agreement for "SERIES"

By checking the box below, I grant on behalf of the non-exclusive right to host (distribute) my submission ("the Work") over the Internet and make it part of the DigitalCommons@Molloy.

I agree that:

1. I am the copyright owner or permissions have been received to submit this Work;
2. this is my original work and does not infringe or violate the copyright of others;
3. the Work has not been published elsewhere with the same content or in the same format; this does not apply to Open Access Works; and
4. that no right in the Work has in any way been sold, mortgaged, or otherwise disposed of, and that the Work is free from all liens and claims.

After submission, I understand:

1. The DigitalCommons@Molloy curator will review and correct/add citation information;
2. Previously published Works will undergo a Copyright check;
3. Once my Work is live, I will have access to the Author Dashboard;
4. At any time, I can reach out to the DigitalCommons@Molloy curator for assistance.

By submitting my Work, I grant Molloy University the non-exclusive right to copy, digitize, distribute, display, perform, archive and make accessible my work, in whole or in part, in any format and medium. I acknowledge that this permission constitutes a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license. Where applicable, I retain ownership rights to the copyright of my work including the right to use all or part of this work in future works.

NOTE: It is suggested that you print this page for your records.

One of the last fields you will encounter on the submission forms is the Copyright Permissions Check. There are three options:

1. Open Access publication, upload allowed
   • Select this option if you published in an Open Access or Hybrid journal (or book) and your work has a CC License that was designated within that publication.
2. Copyright held by author(s), upload allowed
   • Most common for unpublished works; however, some publications do allow the author(s) to retain their copyright without it necessarily being an Open Access Publication i.e. conference proceedings.
3. Please check copyright permissions for me
   • Select this option if the work is published, not Open Access or you are unsure of the copyright status.

All submissions are mediated and will be checked by the current DigitalCommons@Molloy curator.
