Publication Agreement
This is a publication agreement regarding a research paper, which is submitted for publication in our journal. There will be two parties; the author and the SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJOSCIENCE/SMART MOVES (Publisher). In later on in this agreement, we will write IJOSCIENCE instead of SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJOSCIENCE/SMART MOVES. When an author or a co-author submit their research paper to the journal this means that they agree to the journal's terms and conditions. If an author is submitting a manuscript, he/she will be deemed that he/she has read, agree and abide by our policies.
