REMAINS THE PROPERTY OF THE WRITER

We confirm that contributions to IRCM's Monthly Magazine remain the property of the writer.

By submitting an article for publication in the magazine, you grant the IRCM with permission to publish the article in various formats as needed.

ORIGINALITY

Please submit only original articles, and not articles written by AI or plagiarised.

All content must be unique and not previously published elsewhere to avoid search engine penalties.

Plagiarism is recognised when one author/writer utilises or references someone else's work without proper permission or acknowledgment. This can involve materials sourced from various mediums such as newspapers, books, or online platforms. Essential details including the author's name, publication title, and publication date must be provided when referencing external works. Such information not only ensures proper attribution but also enables readers to access the original source for further clarification.

ACCURACY:

Authors are accountable for the accuracy of their content, including facts and spelling.

While authors retain responsibility for their submissions, we reserve the right to finalise headlines, illustrations, and article placement.

DEADLINES

Writers are required to respect our primary publication date.

The publication schedule is such that we require all writers to submit their articles within the first part/full working week of the calendar month.

Repeatedly missing the deadline may mean that no further articles will be published.

PUBLICATION ELSEWHERE

Once the article has been published in the IRCM Monthly Magazine, writers are welcome to publish the article elsewhere.

However, the writer must refrain from seeking simultaneous publication, and are required to cite IRCM in any subsequent publications of their article.
