Author Affidavit

An Author Affidavit is a formal, sworn statement made by an author, usually concerning the originality and ownership of a work, such as a book or article. It verifies that the author holds the rights to the content and confirms that the work is free from plagiarism and does not infringe on others' rights. This document is often required during the publication process to ensure that all parties know the author’s claims about the work’s authenticity and legal standing, providing both protection for the author and assurance for publishers or journals.
