In exceptional cases, articles may be accepted under different licenses. If you have specific conditions that do not allow this permission (e.g. those relating to funding), please inform journal editorial team while submission. Exceptions will be at the discretion of the publisher.

Permission should be requested by the authors from the copyright holder (usually the Publisher as early as possible, please refer to the imprint of the individual publications to identify the copyright holder). GATE Press cannot publish material from other publications without permission.
