IMAPS - ITAR Restrictions on Publishable Materials

ITAR Restrictions on Publishable Materials

IMAPS events draw international participation and most events will be attended by non-US citizens. Before submitting your abstract, paper and/or presentation to an IMAPS event or publication, you should be aware of ITAR restrictions on publishable material, whether you work in the defense industry, in academia, for a commercial organization, or for an association. Authors/speakers submitting papers with ITAR restrictions are responsible for getting the appropriate clearance before publication or presentation.

All authors submitting material to IMAPS are expected to obtain all needed clearances for their works to be freely published in IMAPS publications or presented at IMAPS events. Clearances must be obtained well in advance of the submission/presentation deadlines. Further, it is the responsibility of an author who make changes to their manuscripts/presentations to have all changes cleared in advance of the deadline/publication. This applies to all authors.

Furthermore, IMAPS assumes that all authors involved in government contracts will meet their contractual obligations and that these obligations will, by definition, satisfy the requirements for ITAR compliance.

Neither IMAPS, its staff, members, volunteers or committee persons, are responsible for obtaining clearances or permission for publication of restricted papers or presentations. It is solely the responsibility of the author, submitting authors and/or co-authors of a publication to ensure ITAR compliance, to seek authorization for publication, and/or to confirm contractual obligations that may restrict publication.
