Introduction
The "MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF INSTRUCTION (MDJI)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Journal") publishes scholarly articles across various disciplines. It is crucial to establish clear copyright and publishing rights to protect the intellectual property of authors and the Journal itself. This document outlines the copyright and publishing rights policies for MDJI.
Copyright
In general, authors retain the copyright to their articles published in MDJI. However, by submitting an article, authors grant the Journal certain publishing rights. These rights typically include:
- The right to reproduce the article in the Journal's print and electronic editions.

Fair Use
