Copyright and Licensing Policy

Renaissance of Universal Mind · RUM PUBLISHING GROUP MCHJ

1. Author rights and publishing permission

Under the journal’s stated policy, authors retain copyright and grant the publisher a non-exclusive permission to publish and distribute the article. Authors must have authority to grant the required rights and obtain all co-authors’ approval. Website branding and other non-article material are distinct from the rights in an individual scholarly article.

2. CC BY 4.0 terms

The default licence is CC BY 4.0. It permits sharing and adaptation, including commercial use, subject to appropriate attribution, a licence link and an indication of changes. Reuse must not imply author endorsement or introduce additional restrictions incompatible with the licence. Consult the official licence for its full terms. No extra licensing payment is part of the standard APC=0 publication process.

3. Third-party material and individual article notices

Authors must identify third-party figures, tables, datasets and quotations, credit the source and obtain permission where required. Such content is not automatically covered by the article’s CC licence. Check the credit and licence statement on the particular article; a website-policy update does not silently relicense previously published material. Report inconsistent copyright or licence metadata so that it can be examined and corrected transparently.
