Background of revision
To cope with recent movement for authorfs copyright, we have revised the
regulations with the following items as the objective. Although this revision
basically means authorfs copyright about articles and the rest is transferred

as well. This regulation is an alternative of gthe regulation of corp. Japan Society
of Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers for authorfs copyrighth that was
established in the ordinary general meeting on May 10th of 1979 (Showa 54 year).
In addition, the reason why the above regulation was established in the ordinary
general meeting was that the regulation must swear back to the past and therefore
approval of collective opinion from members was necessary.
1. To clarify this societyfs approach for the copyright.
2. To cope with computerized documentation such as publications in home page,
download service, electronic journal and others.
3. To improve service to members and social society.
