3. The right to post their own author versions of preprints and revisions, including versions covered by AACE copyright but not versions downloaded from the AACE Digital Library, in a personal collection on their own or their employer’s server; such copies must be limited to noncommercial distributions and personal use by others and the AACE copyright notice must be attached.
4. If the Article was prepared under a U.S. Government contract, the government shall have the rights under the copyright to the extent required by the contract.

• For jointly authored works, one of the authors should sign as authorized agent for the others.
