Copyright
Authors submitting a paper to MEDIASCAPE automatically agree to confer a limited license to MEDIASCAPE if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication. This license allows MEDIASCAPE to publish a manuscript in a given issue.
Authors have a choice of:
- Dedicating the article to the public domain. This allows anyone to make any use of the article at any time, including commercial use. A good way to do this is to use the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication Web form; see http://creativecommons.org/license/publicdomain-2?lang=en.
- Retaining some rights while allowing some use. For example, authors may decide to disallow commercial use without permission. Authors may also decide whether to allow users to make modifications (e.g. translations, adaptations) without permission. A good way to make these choices is to use a Creative Commons license.
- Go to http://creativecommons.org/license/.
- Choose and select license. Choose "generic" if you are in the U.S. and "text" for MEDIASCAPE articles.
- What to do next - you can then e-mail the license html code to yourself. Do this, and then forward that e-mail to MEDIASCAPE's editors. Put your name in the subject line of the e-mail with your name and article title in the e-mail.
- Background information about Creative Commons licenses can be found at http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/.
