Copyright Options for Scholars in the Digital World

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | July 12, 2007 - 11:50

The Internet provides scholars virtually endless opportunities to disseminate their intellectual product to varied audiences: blogs, institutional repositories, faculty or class web pages serve as distribution outlets in addition to traditionally published journals or treatises. Scholars need to be mindful of ways to preserve their rights in their works in order to fully exploit the options available to them. Shyam Sunder and Ann Okerson recently posted “Sign on the Dotted Line or Negotiate: A Copyright Primer for Scholars” (http://ssrn.com/abstract=991946 ), offering tips and model forms for preserving author’s rights when negotiating publishing contracts. The Scholar’s Copyright Project at Science Commons provides alternative license agreements at its Creative Commons Licenses page. Peter B. Hirtle published a comparative study of author’s counters to the publisher’s contract language in Author Addenda: An Examination of Five Alternatives , Dlib November 2006 (http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november06/hirtle/11hirtle.html)
