Copyright Transfer Agreement for Publishing

Journal Author(s) Rights

In order for Borneo Engineering: Jurnal Teknik Sipil (BEJTS) to publish and disseminate research articles, we need publishing rights (transferred from author(s) to publisher). This is determined by a publishing agreement between the author(s) and BEJTS. This agreement deals with the transfer or license of the copyright of publishing to BEJTS, while Authors still retain significant rights to use and share their own published articles. BEJTS supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research and these rights, in any database.
