However, if the author does not have copyright, permission from the copyright holder for the case to be listed with the CIBER Case Collection at ECCH must be included with the case submission. Cases must be submitted in Word or WordPerfect format and include teaching notes. Submitted cases are formatted for the CIBER Case Collection and checked for completeness. Final author approval of edited version of the case is required before it is sent to ECCH for distribution.
