Frae the day, we are pittin intil effeck a new copyricht statement for aa submitters til Lallans and
the Sangschaw tae gree til. We trou that this is a fair statement, in line wi ither magazines, and
reflects hou we've aareadies been daein things: the copyricht statement will mak our expectations
explicit, sae naebody can accuse us o skullduggery!

The statement reads as follaes:

> remains with the author, however, submitting a piece for inclusion gives the Scots Language
> Society, though Lallans or other title, the right, in perpetuity, to republish the work in hard
> copy or digital form and to reformat it as necessary.

It is clearly displayed on the [submission page](/sco/submit).
