at least one of the authors has given his/her consent to the posting in the
Highlights in Nanotechnology;
-
an open-access, full text version of the publication is available online,
with no time limitations;
-
the open-access, full text version does not violate any
copyrights or other laws (see the statement below on the
legal basis of open access publishing).

Every registered scientist may contribute to the Discussion Forum.

Contributions to the Discussion Forum must be formulated in a purely scientific

-
The Publishers and Editors reserve the right to exclude contributors, who

Legal Basis of Open Access Publishing:
Universities and funding agencies encourage researchers to grant open access
to their published results
(see, e.g., the
CIC statement on Publishing Agreements).
Most publishers allow authors to post pre- or post-prints;
