Authors

1. Authors of accepted manuscripts assign to AD the right to publish and distribute their text electronically and to archive it permanently retrievable electronically.
2. Authors retain the copyright of the article. After it has appeared in AD authors may republish their text in any way they wish (electronic or print) as long as they clearly acknowledge AD as its original publisher with the correct citation details and copyright notice, independent whether the article is used in whole or in part.
3. AD may change the appearance of the article, both layout and technical format, to ensure consistency and readability. Under no circumstance the content of the article will be altered.
4. The author warrants to AD that the article is original, does not infringe any existing copyright, and does not infringe the rights of any third party. This warrant concerns the entire manuscript, text as well as pictures, sound, video, data sets etc. The author also warrants to us that he has full authority to enter into this agreement and that the rights he is granting to AD are done so without breaching any obligations he may have.
5. Acceptation:
   • Previous publication and electronic preprints (eprints)
     AD does not want to publish material that has already appeared elsewhere. But we do accept some papers that have been published as abstracts or have been partially reported by the media at scientific meetings, and some that have already appeared in foreign language journals. Previous publication in electronic form, known as preprint or eprint, may also be acceptable. In all these cases authors should tell us about previous publication and supply us with copies of such previous versions. Then we can decide whether publication in AD will add usefully to the literature on our topics, or whether it will just add redundant material.
   • Redundant publication
     Whenever a paper submitted to AD overlaps by more than 10% with previously published work, or work submitted elsewhere, we want authors to send us copies of those papers. To protect readers and researchers from being overwhelmed by redundant material we do not want to publish papers that overlap substantially with papers published elsewhere. We want to decide ourselves on the degree of overlap.
6. Linking: AD encourages and appreciates links in your own Web pages to AD-webpages. Permission is expressly granted to any person who wishes to place a link in his or her own Web page to AD's homepage www.arsdisputandi.org/ad. As a courtesy, if you link to, or include AD in an index, please let us know.
7. Privacy statement: AD is very concerned about the privacy of its authors and guards their data carefully. All data supplied by the author are secured and not available to third parties unless the author explicitly grants permission in exceptional cases. On delivery the manuscripts are time-stamped and marked with an identification code. This information is documented and will not be altered. Additionally, internal practises help protect your privacy by limiting employee access to and use of your data. Subsequently, the manuscript enters the peer reviewing procedure anonymously.
8. Liability: Ars Disputandi (AD) accept no liability whatsoever for the consequences of any such inaccurate or misleading data, opinions or statements. Although every effort is made by AD and the editorial board of this online journal to see that no inaccurate or misleading data, opinions or statements appear in this issue, we wish to make clear that the data and opinions appearing in the articles are the responsibility of the contributor concerned.
