Title: Examining law journal publication agreements for copyright transfers and self-archiving rights
Subjects: E. Publishing and legal issues > ED. Intellectual property: author's rights, ownership, copyright and copyleft
Date: 17-Nov-2009
Abstract: This study examines 78 law journal publication agreements and finds that a minority of journals ask authors to transfer copyright. Most journals also permit author to self-archive articles with some conditions. The study recommends journals make their agreements publicly available and use licenses instead of copyright transfers.
