Scope of Copyright Reports
AQIRI respects intellectual property rights and expects authors, editors, reviewers, contributors, staff, interns, partners, and visitors to do the same. A report may be submitted if you believe content hosted, displayed, distributed, or linked through AQIRI platforms has been used without proper authorization, attribution, license, or lawful permission.
- Published articles, book chapters, and research papers
- Images, figures, tables, charts, and illustrations
- PDF files, issue files, and downloadable documents
- Website text, metadata, and institutional content
- Promotional graphics, notices, and public communication material
Information Required
To review a concern properly, AQIRI asks the reporting party to provide clear identifying information and enough detail to locate the disputed material.
- Full name and contact details of the reporting person or organization
- Name of the copyright owner, if different
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
- Exact URL or location of the allegedly infringing material
- Description of the concern and any supporting documents or publication records
- A good-faith statement that the information provided is accurate
Review Process
After receiving a report, AQIRI may record the complaint, review the reported material, request clarification, contact the responsible author or department, temporarily restrict access where necessary, and correct attribution, licensing, replacement, or removal where required.
AQIRI may decline to take action where a complaint is incomplete, unsupported, abusive, misleading, or outside the scope of official AQIRI platforms.
Good-Faith Reporting
Reports should be made in good faith. False, repetitive, malicious, or non-copyright complaints may be disregarded. Academic disagreement, personal dispute, authorship conflict, or editorial dissatisfaction should not be submitted as copyright complaints unless a genuine copyright issue exists.
