Medaon holds exclusive copyright for each article published on the journal’s website. Publications may, with prior permission of the editorial team and with the initial publisher being credited, be published elsewhere.

It is the author’s responsibility to ensure permission for reproduction of images and illustrations and secure the copyright/a usage licence for any material used for their submission.

All submissions must be original and not be submitted or published elsewhere, either in print or online. The only exceptions are cases where it is patently clear that non-publication by Medaon would deprive articles of a wider academic readership. In such exceptional cases, the copyright-holder(s) must provide their consent for publication if the copyright is not held by the submitting authors

Medaon reserves the right to any future publications, such as on CD-ROM or for selected print editions; authors will be informed of the additional required procedures in such cases. The same applies if articles published by Medaon are requested/due to be published as reprints by other publishers.
