We would like to draw your attention to the protection copyright affords against multiple photocopying by libraries, instructors, and copy centers. The 1976 copyright law provides that photocopies in excess of "fair use" copying cannot be made without authorization by the copyright owner "fair use" meaning single copying for personal use. Accordingly, the Journals authorize personal or educational multiple copying only if a request is made in writing, and the required fee per copy is paid directly to us. Each copy must include a notice of copyright.
It is the policy of RAME Publishers Journals to grant to any reputable publisher the right to reprint any of our articles, but only under the condition that the permission of the author is obtained. We ask that publishers interested in reprinting any material send a request in writing to the Editors.
For Authors
In accepting your manuscript for publication, we wish to acquaint you with our copyright policies and to enlist your cooperation. Copyright protects you from plagiarism and pirating, and ensures that your text cannot be altered without your consent.

You are of course permitted to reprint your own article at no fee; but we ask that you give us notice of any direct negotiations with publishers regarding the reprinting of an article of yours on which we hold copyright. You are also allowed to post an electronic version of your article on your personal website as long as RAME Publishers copyright is acknowledged; such use does not extend, however, to permission for the host site to repackage any copyrighted material with other electronic content for whatever reason educational, commercial, or otherwise.
