What copyright issues do you need to consider?
-
We prefer authors to assign copyright to the publisher or the journal proprietor (such as a learned society on whose behalf we publish), but accept that authors may prefer to provide an exclusive license to publish.
-
Copyright assignment has the advantage of elimination of ambiguity, for example in negotiating subsidiary licenses (for instance with database aggregators) or in dealing on an author's behalf with plagiarism, abuse of moral rights, protecting intellectual property or copyright infringement.
-
It is important however that we are at least granted exclusive rights because of the needs of the scholarly community for certainty in the scientific record. There is a requirement for a clear and unambiguous record of the scholarly or scientific process, with validated authentication of the final version of an article which has been edited, peer-reviewed and accepted in a journal which confers a recognized, legitimate status on an article. We need these rights to assure the scholarly community that they are reading the genuine, final version.
-
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table or extensive (more than fifty words) extract from the text of a source that is copyrighted or owned by a party other than Taylor & Francis or the contributor. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction", where the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
