Terms Governing Use of the Scientific Literature Platform
These terms describe general conditions for accessing and using Scientific Literature websites, journal services, submission systems, and related publishing resources.
Use of the Website
Users should use the platform lawfully and in a manner that does not interfere with its operation, security, availability, or the rights of others. Unauthorized access, malicious activity, scraping that disrupts services, impersonation, or attempts to compromise accounts or systems are prohibited.
User Accounts
Where registration is required, users are responsible for providing accurate information and protecting account credentials. Users should notify Scientific Literature if they become aware of unauthorized access or misuse of their account.
Manuscript Submissions
By submitting a manuscript, the submitting author represents that they are authorized to submit on behalf of the listed authors and that the information supplied is accurate to the best of their knowledge. Submission does not create a guarantee of peer review, acceptance, publication, indexing, or a particular timeline.
Intellectual Property
Rights in submitted and published material depend on applicable copyright, licenses, author agreements, and third-party permissions. Users may not reproduce protected site content beyond what is permitted by law, license, or written permission.
Fees and Payments
Where charges apply, users are responsible for reviewing current fee information, invoice details, taxes, payment terms, and any applicable refund or cancellation conditions. Payment does not override editorial independence.
Accuracy and Availability
Scientific Literature aims to provide accurate and current information but cannot guarantee that every page, link, metadata record, or service will always be error-free or continuously available. Content may be corrected, updated, moved, or removed where appropriate.
Third-Party Services and Links
The platform may link to third-party websites or use external service providers. Scientific Literature is not responsible for the independent content, availability, privacy practices, or terms of third-party services.
Changes to These Terms
Terms may be updated to reflect changes in services, policies, legal requirements, or operational practices. Continued use of the platform after an update may be subject to the revised terms as permitted by applicable law.
