Copyright and Publishing Rights

The Mayo Journal of Communication World respects the intellectual property rights of authors and promotes transparency in the publishing process. Upon acceptance and publication of an article, the authors retain the copyright of their work. However, the authors grant the journal the non-exclusive right to publish, distribute, and archive the article in both print and electronic formats. This allows the journal to share the research widely while authors maintain ownership of their content. All published articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY), enabling users to read, download, copy, distribute, and use the content for lawful purposes, provided proper citation of the original source is given. The journal does not restrict the authors from sharing or republishing their work elsewhere, as long as the original publication in the Mayo Journal of Communication World is properly acknowledged.
