Where exclusive publication has been expressly agreed, the terms and duration of editorial exclusivity shall be agreed directly with the authors or their representatives, in accordance with the agreement between the parties.

Once an article has been published, its title may not be changed on the grounds of subsequent editorial preferences, except in exceptional circumstances or where corrections are required by law.
