期刊投稿｜Author Agreement模板 Consent Form

很多期刊要求在投稿的同时，提交Author Agreement，有些也叫Consent Form.
Author Agreement的作用：
An Author Agreement is a statement to certify that all authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript being submitted. They warrant that the article is the authors' original work, hasn't received prior publication and isn't under consideration for publication elsewhere.
作者协议是一份声明，证明所有作者都看过并批准了提交的手稿的最终版本。他们保证文章是作者的原创作品，之前没有收到过出版物，也没有考虑在其他地方发表。

这里给一份Author Agreement的模板，需要替换其中的期刊名称
