Copyright Notice

Copyright and Licensing
For all articles published in MAWA, copyright is retained by the authors. Articles are licensed under an open-access Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license, meaning that anyone may download and read the paper for free. In addition, the article may be reused and quoted, provided that the original published version is cited. These conditions allow for maximum use and exposure of the work while ensuring that the authors receive proper credit.

Reproducing Published Material from other Publishers
In order to reproduce any published material, for which the authors do not hold the copyright, such as figures, tables, schemes, photographs, etc., permission from the copyright holder must be obtained. It is the authors’ obligation to refer to the printed material in order to identify the copyright holder. Permission is also needed for the authors’ own material, in case they did not retain the copyright upon publishing the material by other publishers. On the other hand, permission is not needed for reproducing tables, graphs, charts, or schemes that the authors have already published elsewhere, provided the original source is properly cited. The same is valid for graphs, charts, and schemes by other authors, provided those materials are not copied, but suitably reproduced by the authors.

Obtaining Permission
As obtaining permissions may take a certain amount of time, it is strongly suggested to request permission to use the copyrighted material as early as possible. The copyright holder may provide instructions on how to acknowledge the use of copyrighted material. Otherwise, a general acknowledgment form would be suitable for this purpose.
