Author's
Intellectual Property & CopyrightsThe key aim of the CPDConference.org
project is to share learning opportunities, research, ideas, projects and
professional developments across the International Healthcare Community.
Unlike
journals and other publication media, CPDConference.org permits authors to
maintain their ownership of the intellectual property and copyright in the CPD
activities they submit. By submitting their work to CPDConference.org authors
and co-authors permit their CPD materials to be published on the
CPDConference.org website and reproduced within our associated
publications.
To ensure the
continuation of this project, users wishing to gain access to some CPD
activities will have to pay a small charge to cover the production and
distribution costs for the learning activities and the CPD certificates.
Royalty considerations will therefore be available to authors, which may be
accepted or allocated at their discretion. All previously published or
presented articles and presentations are welcome but it is the author's
responsibility to obtain any necessary permissions. To qualify for royalty
considerations, authors are required to accept an undertaking not to republish
the submitted work in any commercial forum or publication without first
notifying CPDConference.org.
Sponsorship &
Advertising PolicyTo achieve our aim of affordable
professional development and free access to the main Conference facilities we
are actively seeking appropriate sponsorship and advertising. Kosmos Software
Ltd. reserves the right to refuse any sponsorship or advertising including
printed and web-media for any reason.
All
sponsorship or advertisements are subject to review and approval by the
Principal Conference Committee (PCC). Kosmos Software Ltd also reserves the
right at any time to discontinue the posting of any sponsorship or
advertisements, even if they were approved previously, if the PCC believes they
are not in keeping with the Conference standards. Sponsors or advertisers may
be requested to submit evidence and documentation to substantiate
claims.
