License Agreement

For your convenience here we repeat the License Agreement which the Authors acknowledge at the beginning of the submission process, and later, before the publication, they send us its signed copy. The License Agreement can be found in the LaTeX template for Authors in the section on Technical Requirements for Preparing a Paper.

The authors hereby declare that they are fully aware of the terms on which their article(s), further called works, are accepted for refereeing and publication in the MG&V journal, and accept those terms. Specifically, the authors agree to what follows.

Publication of the works is only possible if the manuscript submitted to MG&V has not been published in any other journal, and will not be and has not been simultaneously submitted for publication, or published elsewhere.

The Editors treat the phenomena of plagiarism, using content generated with AI tools as Authors’ own content, ghostwriting and guest authorship as a sign of scientific dishonesty. If serious misconduct in this respect is discovered, the cases will be exposed, including the notifying of the relevant entities (employers of the authors). The Authors hereby declare that the above phenomena are absent in the publication. The Authors declare that they observe the Ethical Standards of MG&V.

In general, the papers in Machine Graphics & Vision are published according to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license – CC BY-NC 4.0.

The authors grant to the publisher the following rights, effective from the date on which the Article is accepted for publication:

1. the non-exclusive right to publish, reproduce, display, distribute and otherwise use the Article, or any part of the Article, for any purpose, in print, electronic and all other media, and to prepare derivative works, in any form, in all languages, throughout the world, for the full term of copyright;

If the manuscript contains any copyrighted material, it is the authors’ responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions from the copyright owner(s). This concerns in particular, but not exclusively, to images and diagrams. It the copyright allows for publication of a given content, than the information on the copyright type and the link to the original copyright description must be given together with such content.

Subject to the terms of this License Agreement, each author retains the right to re-use the Article for their own commercial and non-commercial purposes, as well as to create derivative works, without permission from Journal Owner or payment to Journal Owner. Each author shall, in connection with any such re-use of the article, fully acknowledge and attribute the original publication of the article Under the same condition Authors may self-archive the paper or an author-created version of their works in their own website(s) and/or in the repository of their department, faculty or funder, or in public scientific archiving services.

Supplemental Materials and Research Data

“Supplemental Materials” shall mean materials published as a supplemental part of the Article, including but not limited to graphical, illustrative, video and audio material.

“Research Data” shall mean the result of observations or experimentation that validate research findings and that are published separate to the Article, which can include but are not limited to raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols and methods.

Where Journal Owner and/or the publisher publish the Article on their online platforms on an Open Access basis and publish the Supplemental Materials with the Article, Journal Owner and/or the publisher shall apply the same end user license to the Supplemental Materials as to the Article. Where an author has selected a specific end user license under which the Research Data is to be made available on a site or through a service, Journal Owner and/or the publisher shall apply that end user license to the Research Data on that site or service.
