The author agrees that each subsequent publication of the filing indicates that the Journal is the website of the first publication and that it provides a link to the Journal`s website. I worked with Sandra Enimil, Director of the Copyright Resource Center, and Maureen Walsh, Director of the Knowledge Bank Program, to develop a standard author`s agreement. After several rounds of review and audits by legal advisors at the university, we finally have a project that satisfies us all. The agreement must be modular, with sections that can be added or deleted to support different licensing agreements (such as Creative Commons) and submission procedures (like the first part, about them, which takes effect upon adoption). I would also like to stress that it is not intentional to be a single solution, even with modularity, and we really expect that individual magazines – and sometimes even individual articles – will require changes. For example, I just helped a student magazine adapt it to both the acceptance of the author and his advisor, and I collaborated with the editor of another magazine (and Sandra, probably tired of me now) to add a provision for an author who wanted to exclude the images in their submission of the Creative Commons license applied to the text. In filing this agreement, the author signed by Ohio State University, on behalf of the University Libraries` Knowledge Bank (`the publisher`), grants the non-exclusive right to reproduce, translate, display and/or distribute the repository (including the summary) as part of the University of Libraries` ”Journal” in print and electronic form and in any media. You also agree that the publisher can create and keep more than one copy for conservation, security and security purposes. You state that as a single author and/or on behalf of your co-authors, you are entitled to grant the rights contained in this Agreement. You also explain that in your soul and conscience, your submission does not infringe anyone`s copyright.
