Author Rights Paul Royster November 1, 2012 UNL Engineering Library

In the beginning … There is Copyright Belongs to author(s) automatically From the time work “is created in fixed form” Lasts for 95 years (currently)

Copyright = exclusive right to Distribute copies Make copies for distribution Make derivative works translations,dramatizations, abridgements, compilations, etc. Perform publically … And to authorize others to do so.

Creative Works Copyright only applies to “creative works” Lists of facts & figures or reproductions of pre-existing works cannot be copyrighted. “Mechanical” copies (xeroxes, scans, etc.) cannot be copyrighted. There must be some creative act.

Copyright applies to Written works Graphic works Music or sound Dramatic works Dance, mime, pantomime (as long as there exists a fixed notation or description of record)

Copyright does not apply to Facts Ideas Stories Concepts It applies only to the particular way an author (or artist) has expressed those things.

Pre-existing works Pre-existing works in the public domain cannot be copyrighted; e.g. the Bible, the Constitution, the lyrics to “Sweet Betsy from Pike,” …

Words & phrases Words & phrases cannot be copyrighted. This includes titles. However, some words, names, or phrases can be “trademarked”—which is a different process.

Copyright is property It can be: Sold Leased Licensed Transferred Inherited Divided

To whom does it belong ? The authors of a joint work are co-owners of the copyright in the work, unless there is an agreement to the contrary.

Copyright is federal law. Written by Congress, mentioned in the Constitution. Applies equally in all states. Administered by U.S. Copyright Office. International copyrights are secured by treaty.

Copyright Registration While you may automatically own the copyright, you may also take the additional step of registering it with the US Copyright Office. Cost = $65 ($35 if done online) Why would you do that? If you sue someone for copyright infringement, you can only collect damages back to the date of registration.

Now, suppose … You’ve written an article !! (It could happen.)

and also suppose … Some journal wants to publish it !!

What happens next ? Well, there are several possibilities …

Best case scenario They ask for -- “non-exclusive permission to publish” You retain copyright and can publish elsewhere, post on your webpage or institutional repository, distribute to your classes, dramatize, set to music, … Go for it !

Those are the terms under which UNL Library publishes: PhD dissertations at ProQuest Theses and dissertations in the UNL DigitalCommons Original works in the DigitalCommons or library publishing imprint Zea Books

More likely Journal sends “copyright transfer agreement” They get all rights, for all times, in all places, in all forms, including those yet to be invented.

Why do they do that ? “to ensure maximum distribution” “required by our charter” “to protect your contribution” “necessary to support our mix of business models” Because they can ! Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth says it’s:

There may be some give-backs: Make copies for classroom teaching or sharing with research colleagues Include in thesis or dissertation Include in printed compilation of your works Present at conference Post a pre-published version on webpage or institutional repository

Read the Contract !

Before You Sign It !

Everything is Negotiable (before you sign) Afterwards, nothing is.

The SPARC Addendum Developed by Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition to attach to publisher contracts Declares precedence over base contract Takes back publication, re-use, and derivative rights Most publishers do not accept Can lead to extended negotiations and delays

Creative Commons licenses Many open-access journals now require the authors to adopt a Creative Commons (CC) license. This declares copyright by the author, but conveys all re-use rights to the world at large. There is no exclusivity or “protection.” So, yes you can re-use it, but so can anyone else.

Campus Mandates Harvard, MIT, Kansas, et al. have adopted an “open-access policy” strategy. 1.Faculty are required to deposit final MS version of accepted articles in institutional repository. 2.University asserts a prior right to distribute (and empower others to distribute) and “exercise all rights under copyright” 3.Faculty author cannot convey “exclusive” publication rights to journal publisher 4.Faculty authors may “opt out”

Author Rights You Want Re-publish Distribute to classes and colleagues Post on website or repository Control creation of derivative works Prevent unwanted uses

Copyright Is good when it protects authors’ rights Is bad when used by publishers to curtail authors’ rights. CC licenses and campus mandates address these issues, but partially and imperfectly.

Conclusion It’s a jungle out there.... But the jungle can be a nice place.... Just watch where you step.
