Intellectual Property Policy
Journal of Advanced Computing and Digital Information Systems (JACDIS) respects and protects intellectual property rights associated with submitted and published scholarly work. This policy follows relevant publication ethics principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and applies to authors, editors, reviewers, and other parties involved in the publication process.
1. Intellectual Property Ownership: Authors are responsible for ensuring that manuscripts, data, code, software, images, tables, methods, and other materials included in their submissions do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
Publication in JACDIS does not, by itself, transfer ownership of intellectual property embodied in the research that remains lawfully owned by the authors or other rights holders.
2. Third-Party Materials: Authors must obtain any necessary permission before using third-party materials protected by intellectual property rights, including images, tables, datasets, software, code, or other materials.
Appropriate attribution must be provided for materials used under permission, license, or other applicable terms of use.
3. Data, Software, and Code: Authors are responsible for ensuring that the use of datasets, software, source code, models, algorithms, and other digital resources complies with applicable intellectual property rights and licensing terms.
Where access to or use of such materials is restricted, authors should clearly describe the relevant restrictions and, where possible, provide information that enables readers to understand or reproduce the research lawfully.
4. Author Responsibilities: Authors must ensure that their submitted work is legally publishable, does not infringe third-party rights, and that all necessary permissions or authorizations have been obtained for materials that they do not own.
Any claim, dispute, or alleged infringement arising from materials supplied by the authors may be addressed by JACDIS in accordance with its applicable publication ethics policies.
5. Handling Alleged Infringement: If JACDIS receives a concern regarding potential intellectual property infringement, the journal may request clarification or evidence of ownership or permission, conduct an editorial assessment, and take appropriate action.
For published articles, actions may include correction, removal of infringing material, an Expression of Concern, or retraction where warranted by the nature and impact of the infringement.
