License Agreement

Science requires that, before manuscript acceptance, authors sign a license agreement granting AAAS exclusive rights to use and authorize use of their contribution. The authors retain copyright as well as rights to make certain uses of the work, which are described in detail in the information for authors that accompanies the form. Authors should read this information sheet before signing the agreement. (A separate form is used for authors of papers for which all coauthors are employees of the Australian, Canadian, and/or U.K. Government.)

In general, authors will complete the license form as a "click-through" during the process of uploading the revised manuscript after peer review. Alternatively, authors may download a PDF copy of the agreement below and fax back the agreement to Science at (202) 289-7562.
