I, the undersigned author whose title is written above, (the “Article”), hereby transfer my, and all other co-author’s copyright in the Article to AMT. In so doing, I affirm that:

The Article is an original work of authorship and that I (and my co-authors, if any) hold the copyright thereto.

The Article has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration for publication by a publisher other than AMT.

Except for brief excerpts (i.e., see paragraph #5 below), the Article contains no material that is not of my own devising.

If the Article contains a small amount of previously published material (such as a quotation, figure, or table), permission to republish this material has already been obtained in writing from the copyright holder, and a copy of that permission is enclosed herewith.

I further agree that the AMT shall have the right to edit the Article in any manner that it in its sole judgment may deem expedient, including the right to condense, expand, revise, rewrite, or retitle the Article, and to publish it or not. I understand that I will be able to see and correct a galley or similar proof of the Article prior to publication.
