Copyright Policy

Authors who publish with La Mosaic agree to the following terms: Authors retain copyright in their work but grant La Mosaic a non-exclusive license to publish the work. La Mosaic retains the right to reformat, transfer, archive and republish a copy of the work in an alternate platform.

Academic Integrity

Originality

Only articles that have not been published previously, that have not been simultaneously submitted elsewhere, and that are not under review for another publication should be submitted to La Mosaic. La Mosaic’s editors will assume that submission of an article to La Mosaic implies that all the foregoing conditions are applicable, and that any co-authors or collaborators have been made aware of the submission and have consented to the submission of their work to La Mosaic.

Grey literature (e.g. conference papers, presentations, white papers, blog posts, and other unpublished work) may be submitted for review and publication in La Mosaic if all copyrights still reside with the submitting author(s).

Plagiarism

La Mosaic does not accept articles which contain material plagiarized from other publications.

For the purposes of this policy, plagiarism is defined as the copying of a previously published work - including text, images and data - of others or self without proper attribution. Please be aware that you can plagiarize yourself and that you need to provide proper attribution in all cases where previously published material is included in your manuscript. In those cases where plagiarism is detected prior to publication, the manuscript will be rejected.

In those cases where plagiarism is detected after publication, the published article will be amended to state that it contains plagiarized material; in extreme cases of plagiarism, the publication will be removed, and a note made on La Mosaic’s website as to the reason.
