Copyright & Licensing Policy

Copyright Ownership
All journals under the AOMS Publisher, including the Management Analytics Letters (MAL), continue to be the intellectual property of the respective authors. The author retains copyright to the work produced without limitations.

AOMS Publisher does not own the content. The journal is granted a non-exclusive license to publish, archive, index, and disseminate the authors’ work across both print and electronic formats.

Each published article includes a clear statement:

© [Year] the Author(s).

This ensures author rights are explicitly stated and preserved.

This license permits:

  • Any type of use, distribution, or reproduction in any form, including media
  • Commercial utilisation as well as modification of content
  • Acknowledgement of the original author(s) and source is mandatory

For transparency purposes, each article’s PDF and the journal’s website show the license badge and terms.

Author Rights
Authors are entitled to:

  • Share their work via repositories, personal websites, or other public platforms.
  • Reuse their material in future publications, presentations, or compilations.

Authors, upon submitting a manuscript to MAL, grant the journal a non-exclusive right to:
