Copyright Notice and Intellectual Property Rights

1 Ownership and Licensing Terms

MIMJRI operates under a balanced copyright framework designed to protect authors' intellectual property while ensuring broad dissemination of scholarly work. Upon submission, authors affirm that the manuscript represents their original creative work and that they possess full authority to enter into this agreement. By agreeing to publish with MIMJRI, authors grant the journal first publication rights while retaining significant ownership privileges.

The journal employs a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0) as its standard publishing agreement. This innovative licensing structure permits unrestricted sharing and adaptation of published work for non-commercial purposes, provided proper attribution is given to both the author(s) and MIMJRI. The non-commercial clause ensures that the academic integrity of the work is maintained while allowing for educational and research uses.

2 Author Rights and Permissions

Authors maintain several important rights under our copyright policy. They may freely share their final published version for scholarly purposes, including depositing in institutional repositories or academic networking platforms. However, commercial reuse or republication in other venues requires explicit permission from MIMJRI's editorial board. The journal recognizes that authors frequently need to incorporate their own published material in future works; therefore, reasonable self-archiving and self-citation are permitted without requiring additional permissions.

3 Third-Party Content Requirements

For manuscripts containing copyrighted material from other sources (including figures, tables, or extended quotations), authors bear full responsibility for obtaining and documenting permission from the original copyright holders. These permissions must cover both print and digital formats and should be submitted along with the manuscript. Proper attribution must be given to all third-party content, clearly indicating the original source and copyright status.

4 Enforcement and Violation Policies

MIMJRI takes copyright infringement seriously and employs multiple safeguards. All submissions undergo rigorous plagiarism screening, and any suspected violations will result in immediate investigation. In cases where copyright infringement is confirmed post-publication, the journal reserves the right to retract the article and notify relevant institutions. Authors found to have violated copyright policies may be prohibited from future submissions.

5 Author Warranties and Liabilities

By submitting to MIMJRI, authors warrant that their work does not infringe upon any existing copyrights, contains no libelous material, and complies with all applicable research ethics standards. Authors assume full liability for any copyright violations or other legal issues arising from their submissions. The journal requires corresponding authors to sign a copyright agreement form upon manuscript acceptance, confirming these understandings and transferring specific publication rights to MIMJRI.

This comprehensive copyright framework is designed to protect all parties while facilitating the ethical dissemination of scholarly knowledge. Authors with specific concerns about copyright or licensing are encouraged to contact the editorial office prior to submission for clarification. The journal remains committed to balancing author rights with the academic community's need for access to quality research.
