Copyright Transfer
Prior to publication, authors must sign a form affirming their work is original and is not an infringement of an existing copyright. Additionally, we ask authors to transfer copyright to ASQ. The copyright transfer allows the author to reproduce his/her article in specific ways, provided the author requests permission from ASQ and credits the copyright to ASQ. The transfer also allows ASQ to reproduce the work in other publications, on its website, etc.
If authors use materials from other works in their articles (other than standard references), they must obtain written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to reprint each item of borrowed material. This includes any illustrations, tables, or substantial extracts (direct quotations) outside the realm of fair use. Submit these permission letters with the article. Articles cannot be published in JQP until copies of all permission letters are received.
