IJCO is owned by Professional Coaching Publications, Inc. (PCPI). PCPI has two copyright agreements it uses: one for articles written by a single author, and one for co-authored articles. Portions of the single author copyright agreement between the author of a journal article and PCPI are shown below.

Professional Coaching Publications, Inc. (hereafter referred to as PCPI), a publisher of coaching educational and reference materials, gratefully acknowledges your contribution of practice and authorship expertise. Because authorship and publishing involve certain rights and responsibilities, we provide the following summary of PCPI publishing policy for your reference and acceptance.

The Author agrees to:
Write a new work, or update an existing work, under the title stated. The “work” to be published includes both the text and whatever supplemental materials, including but not limited to tables, figures, forms, exhibits, illustrations and endnotes, the Author with the concurrence of PCPI deems appropriate.

PCPI agrees to:
Place the Author's name on the appropriate table of contents page and title page, and publicize his/her contribution in suitable promotional material.

Give appropriate credit to the Author and to the work if PCPI uses the work or any of its contents in a subsequent publication.

Provide two complimentary copies of the Journal Issue in which the article appears for the Author writing the article.

The Author and PCPI mutually agree that:
The Author is providing the work as a work for hire and acknowledges receipt of ten dollars (US$10) in hand paid. Accordingly, PCPI shall own the copyright and all rights for the work or works provided hereunder.

PCPI hereby grants Author a license to make all reasonable uses of the work or any part of the work for distribution to Author's clients and for Author's practice development and to incorporate parts of the work in the Author's other coaching publications not competitive with the work as published by PCPI (with qualifications).

The work is being prepared by the Author on a work for hire basis. The Author’s sole compensation will be the benefits referred to in this Agreement.

Agreement
PCPI has chosen the Author on the basis of the Author's personal knowledge, experience, and reputation. The Author's obligations to PCPI are therefore not transferable, even within the Author's company (if any), without PCPI's approval.
