Introducing the New ASME Electronic Copyright Process ASME is implementing a new electronic process for copyright submission effective immediately. This new process gives each author the ability to sign his or her copyright form electronically instead of filling out and sending the paper form to ASME. In order for your form to be processed correctly, a few procedures need to be followed: At abstract submission, the corresponding author must enter all co-author information in the Tool with complete and verifiable information, including email address and telephone. Non-verifiable contact information may prevent you from completing the copyright form and your paper from being published. Once a draft paper has been accepted for publication, the author will not be able to change the author lineup or paper title. Once a draft paper is accepted for publication, each author of the paper will receive an email message with a unique link that will take each individual author to a website to electronically sign the form. The entire process should take you 30 seconds or less to complete. For more detailed information, please go to ASME Copyright Guidelines to familiarize yourself with this new process. Should you have any questions about the new process or about adding your co-authors, either now or once the process has started, please contact us at copyright@asme.org.
