Whereas the TLJ desires to publish the Article on its World Wide Web site in conjunction with other works,
In consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, the Licensor and the TLJ agree as follows:

- The Licensor retains the right to register, in the Licensor’s name, the Licensor’s copyright in the Article with the appropriate governmental office.
- The TLJ agrees to include in its publication of the Article, a notice of the Licensor’s copyright ownership. Notice will be in the form, “© XXXX [Licensor’s name]. Published with permission of the copyright holder.”
- This agreement does not require that the TLJ be the first publisher of the Article, but the TLJ must be advised of any previous publication.
