This license includes the right to enforce the rights granted hereunder against third parties. This license agreement is perpetual for all of time, from the signing of this agreement. As such, I will not at any point publish this paper in another publication, of any type, media, category and so forth.
• Date of Publishing
  I acknowledge that the JALA, the Journal of Asian Linguistic Anthropology, will publish the paper such that it is dated in alignment with the intentions of the Journal. The Journal seeks to maximize the impact of the manuscript and will thus publish the paper in a volume and issue that satisfies this intention.
• Supplemental Materials

With respect to any Supplemental Materials that I submit, The GLOCAL, the Global Council on Anthropological Linguistics, shall have a perpetual worldwide, non-exclusive right and license to publish, extract, reformat, adapt, build upon, index, redistribute, link to, and otherwise use all or any part of the Supplemental Materials, in all forms and media (whether now known or later developed) and permit others to do so. The publisher shall apply the same end user license to the Supplemental Materials as to the Article where it publishes the Supplemental Materials with the Article in the journal on its online platforms on an Open Access basis.
• Manuscript Licensing
  “Research Data” shall mean the result of observations or experimentation that validate research findings and that are published separately to the Article, which can include but are not limited to raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols and methods. With respect to any Research Data that I wish to make accessible on a site or through a service of the GLOCAL, the GLOCAL shall have a perpetual worldwide, non-exclusive right and license to publish, extract, reformat, adapt, build upon, index, redistribute, link to and otherwise use all or any part of the Manuscript in all forms and media (whether now known or later developed), and permit others to do so. I hereby agree to the user license under which the Manuscript is to be made available on any site chosen by the JALA and through any service preferred by the JALA, The JALA, at the GLOCAL, shall apply that end user license to the Manuscript on any such site or service. This pertains only to the Manuscript that I wish to avail to the GLOCAL.
• Monetization
  The GLOCAL shall not at any point in time appropriate this manuscript for monetary purposes. The GLOCAL does and will always represent a free to publish and free to read house for its journals and publications. However, this does not govern the requirements of third parties such as other publishers, but rather, limits the GLOCAL from receiving funds and from monetizing the work of its collaborating authors. The JALA and the GLOCAL will always endorse a free to publish system, through stringent peer review policies.
• General Particulars
  The Scientific Paper submitted for consideration to the JALA must comprise between 7,000 and 12,000 words, and must adhere to a scientific format of five or section main sections, and within which there are sib sections. The methodological focus must be anthropologically and linguistically rigorous, where the paper must also contain a theoretical element both in the literature review and in the discussion. Furthermore, the literature review must contain current literature which evidences the author’s knowledge of up to the minute scholarship. In terms of style, the authors agree to limiting their use of positivist language, and if not, the editors of the JALA will edit the style as such, as the reviewers are strict on the omission of such positivist language.
• Current Ownership
  I currently, and prior to and only until the point of signing this agreement, retain the copyright of the Article and I have contacted all relevant parties so as to receive all publishing rights on all third-party objects in the manuscript. I also understand that the intellectual property included in at least the majority of the manuscript is owned by me and my coauthors. As the representative author of the Article. I understand that, in order to reuse the article in full, I must request permission from the JALA, GLOCAL, in writing. However, any use must be accompanied by full citation to the JALA, or any of its third-party licensees, and to which the JALA has assigned full permission to use the manuscript, in writing.. I understand that the manuscripts entitled as above will be published only by the JALA, eternally, for the purpose of expanding the visibility and impact of my work, and for hence raising my citation visibility. I also understand that, should I be in a position to, following the provision of all licensing agreements, monetize the article, and thus, following permission of appropriate and relevant use by the JALA, the JALA may strictly NOT receive any of this income, and the JALA, as well as the GLOCAL, will remain fully devoid of profiting from any monetization generated from this manuscript. In the event that the authors profit from the licensing of this manuscript, following strict written permission by the JALA, the world will be informed that the JALA, at The GLOCAL, has not received any portion of this monetization.
