Copyright Policy

The transfer of copyright is standard practice in serials and journals publishing. It is designed to facilitate the protection from copyright abuse for authors, editors, and publishers involved in the creation of a single copyright product composed of multiple contributions.

Taylor & Francis, in common with the majority of journal publishers, be they commercial or non-profit, require authors to assign to Taylor & Francis the copyright, in all forms, of papers accepted for publication in our journals. Our rationale is as follows:

(i) ownership of copyright by Taylor & Francis ensures maximum international protection against infringement, libel or plagiarism

(ii) it enables Taylor & Francis to deal efficiently with requests from third parties to reproduce, reprint, or translate an article, or part of it, and in accordance with a general policy which is sensitive both to any relevant changes in international copyright law and to the general desirability of encouraging the dissemination of knowledge. Notwithstanding this, we shall always use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any direct request to reprint an author’s contribution, or a part of it, for example, figures, tables or illustrations, in another publication is approved by the author prior to permission being given.

An increasing number of journals are now published in an electronic or digital edition. In addition to publication of an author’s article in conventional printed form, an author’s assignment of copyright also signifies an author’s agreement to its publication and/or storage electronically or digitally. The Journal may also arrange to include an author’s article in electronic or digital document-delivery services and databases.

An example of our copyright transfer agreement is appended.

Taylor & Francis strongly recommend to authors that they transfer copyright, although it is not necessarily a condition of publication. An author can retain copyright in her or his paper, but we must receive a formal signed statement licensing us to publish the work exclusively, worldwide, and in all forms, in the journal. The author is shown as copyright holder on the article in print, and any permissions requests are forwarded to the author, rather than being dealt with by this office.

Certain ‘moral rights’ were conferred on authors by the UK Copyright Act in 1988. In the UK an author’s ‘right of paternity’, the right to be credited whenever the work is published (or performed or broadcast), requires that this right is asserted in writing. In assigning copyright an author is not forfeiting her or his other proprietary rights.

Nothing in the copyright transfer agreement is intended to restrict an author’s rights as the Author, or in the case of work written by an author during the course of his or her employment, an author’s employer’s rights, to revise, adapt, prepare derivative works, present orally or otherwise make use of the contents of the article.

As a courtesy, we request that authors advise us of such reproduction, and acknowledge and cite the journal as the original source of publication.

For example, authors themselves retain the right to reproduce their own paper in any volume of which the author acts as editor or author, subject to acknowledgement and citation.

We also require that you obtain the necessary written permission in advance from any third party owners of copyright for the use of any of their text, illustrations, graphics, or other material, in your article and in our journal.

In some cases copyright will be held by the Author’s employer, for example, the British (Crown) or US Government, where there are no restrictions on access, and the paper will be shown as being in Crown or US Government Copyright. It is essential that authors ensure requisite licenses are secured from such employers once a paper has been accepted for publication.

If the paper is not published in the Journal, the rights revert to the author as original copyright holder

Our policy on photocopying is that a third party is free to make one copy of an article for the purposes of private study or research without seeking the permission of Taylor & Francis or the author.

Unlicensed multiple copying without permission is illegal.

Taylor & Francis participates in a number of photo- and digital copying licensing schemes which exist in many countries for the purposes of private study or research, as co-ordinated by the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations (IFFRO), for example, the Copyright Licensing Agency (UK) and Copyright Clearance Centre (USA), non-profit-making organizations which offer centralized licensing arrangements for photocopying.
