Who Can Submit?
Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in Mississippi Libraries provided he or she owns the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer).
General Submission Rules
Submitted articles cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). Please note: "publication" in a working-paper series does not constitute prior publication. In addition, by submitting material to Mississippi Libraries, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at Mississippi Libraries. If you have concerns about the submission terms for Mississippi Libraries, please contact the editors.
Rights for Authors and The Aquila Digital Community
As further described in our submission agreement (the Submission Agreement), in consideration for publication of the article, the authors assign to The Aquila Digital Community a nonexclusive license to publish and distribute the article. Authors maintain all copyright to articles published in Mississippi Libraries.
People who have questions about use should contact the editors.
