Copyright and References: All articles submitted to the World Articles of Ear, Nose and Throat (WAENT) Online Journal must be original and if accepted, copyright is assigned to WAENT. Download Transfer of Copyright and Patient Permission Form.

All material must be original. We are a world journal and many authors have difficulty with English. We will edit and fix grammar on accepted articles. The important criterion which we use to determine acceptance is the idea behind the work.

DO NOT COPY references word for word. This is easy to do for those who do not speak English well. The source of all material needs to be referenced. If a section of the reference material must be copied word for word, enclose it in quotation marks and reference it. Failure to do so can be considered plagiarism.

Duplicate material on the web is fairly easy to catch because of the GOOGLE search engine. There are also sites such as "COPY SCAPE" www.copyscape.com which specialize in this endeavor. Another website which will analize grammer and check for plagiarism is EssayRater at http://www.essayrater.com

Copying and not referencing material not only affects the author's and journal's creditability but also can negate WAENT advertising contracts.

Submitted Videos: All videos on WAENT are reviewed and if necessary, modified with the author's permission. Modifications often include cropping, adjustment of brightness and contrast, and when appropriate, providing a new narration soundtrack.

If you have a PAL (Europe) camera use a setting of 720 by 576. If you have a NTSC (USA) camera use 720 by 480. Widescreen or standard videos will have different pixal dimensions. Thus, leave the video aspect on "auto".
