Copyright & Ownership Policy

Academic Papers

JASA does not seek to own the copyright of academic (technical) papers published in JASA. The publishers practice a unique copyright scheme in which the authors retain the copyright of their papers. Authors are only required to sign a Publication Licensing Form to grant UCSI Centre for Research Excellence the permission to publish and archive their papers. This scheme allows authors to publish their papers in other journals and to archive their papers in their respective institutions. This is part of our efforts to provide free and open access to information, thereby advancing knowledge for society.
