By submitting your work to the Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind (CJAM), you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual license to publish your work in all forms and media. This license allows us to make your work available to our readership and disseminate it through various channels. However, it's important to note that you retain the right to reproduce, distribute, and publicly display your work for any purposes. You also have the freedom to make and distribute copies of your work as part of a course pack or anthology.

Furthermore, we require that all published works in CJAM be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). This license ensures that your work can be shared and adapted by others, as long as proper attribution is given, it is not used for commercial purposes, and any derivative works are shared under the same license terms. This licensing approach aligns with our commitment to open access and the principles of knowledge sharing and collaboration.

In submitting your work to CJAM, you also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the journal from any claims that may arise from the publication of your work. This indemnification protects both CJAM and its authors by acknowledging that any legal claims related to the content of the published work are the responsibility of the author.

We encourage authors to share their submitted manuscripts, preprints, or postprints on personal websites or institutional repositories both prior to and after publication in CJAM. We believe in the importance of open access and the wider dissemination of research. However, we kindly request that when sharing your work, you provide appropriate bibliographic details that credit its publication in CJAM, including the title, authors, and publication details.

It's worth noting that as the author, you retain the copyright for your submitted work. This means you have the exclusive right to control the reproduction, distribution, and display of your work. CJAM respects your rights as the author and aims to promote responsible and ethical publishing practices.
