For an oncoming study, I will need to translate and use a set of questionnaires. For translating, I will use the outline as presented here: https://doi.org/10.4103%2Fsja.SJA_203_17 , but I struggle to find any information on copyright. I am wondering whether I am allowed to just use questionnaires due to copyright issues.

I imagine I would be allowed to translate and use a questionnaire, but not publish the questions? Except perhaps if the original questionnaire is available under a Creative Commons licence?

Any input would be appreciated!

Can anyone help me to make a copyright aggrement to submit my manuscript to Malaysian journal of sustainable agriculture.

I am a Ph.D. student with low experience in publication. I want to draw a diagram free of a copyright issue for my manuscript. Would you please help me in suggesting trustworthy sites and/or any other possible ways to produce a copyright-free diagrams for publishing on my article? Any related comment is welcomed. Thank you.

I know that the main text of a published work comes under copyright, but not sure about the supporting data. Please, share your thought, comment, or any such experience on (re)using the supporting data of a published work.

Thanks

I'm not entirely certain how this "Start a discussion" feature works, but I'll give it a shot anyways.

I can't be the only one experiencing a co-author paraphrasing all my work so that person can maintain complete control over the publishing process. Some have said this issue happens often at the graduate level but never at the undergraduate level. I'm a non-traditional 40-something year old student who has extensive experience with civil rights and so I'm particularly sensitive to people trying to pull a fast-one on me.

In this case, the professor glitched a few times which had me researching copyrights and IP laws a long time ago. However, I waited until after graduation to raise the issue because the university has a history of retaliation when people express concerns of possible civil rights violations. The corruption runs deep at this particular institution, which bases most of its decisions on their intentional lack of policies and procedures addressing fundamental rights such as free speech and intellectual property. In other words, they remain silent on key issues in order to have as much lateral discretion as possible when making critical decisions even when those decisions are inconsistent with both laws and ethics and could potentially ruin a student's entire academic career.

One of the biggest red flags I noticed early on was the professor neglected to go over the section in our textbook that addresses authorship order and publishing rights in the chapter titled "Research Ethics."

I think my mistake was taking for granted that I viewed this entire project as my own because it was based almost entirely on my research into safe consumption sites. The experimental design, methodologies, protocols, and procedures were created by myself during her class in "Research Methods" as graded assignments. It was, and always has been, my original ideas and content from the very beginning; it just never occurred to me that this professor could, or would, even try to scrub me out like this. I trusted this person and considered her a friend and mentor!

Looking back, I cannot remember even a single instance where we had this conversation despite it being a core principle of the American Psychology Association Code of Ethics. The professor is a licensed psychologist and my degree was in psychology so you'd think that would have been something we should have covered at least once. Right?

Has anyone else experienced issues similar to this? How did you handle it? What should I do, or have done, to prevent this from becoming an issue?

Hi all,

I am posting our paper on medrxiv. I have never come across Distribution/Reuse Options to choose from and those look copyright-related. It reads:

What copyright options do you use for preprint servers? Any precautions?

Thanks.

I am interested in sharing preprints for externally funded projects to provide open access and am wondering about the impact on the peer review process. Specifically, at what point should preprints be posted? Do preprints impact the peer review process (potential reviewers unable to complete a "blind review")? Can copyright issues arise (potentially self plagiarism as the work is previously published)? Thank you for any insight into the preprint process.

ِDoes submitting preprint papers in the figshare.com and getting Reserved DOI enough to keep our copyright?

Hello,

I am a commercial publisher who translated an article from English to French.

This article was originally published under the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license.

I have a question about article 3 a. 1. A. ii (copyright notice).

I understand that I must indicate the existence of a copyright if the information is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material.

For example, it is indicated in the original article that the copyright belongs to the authors of the article.

But does the copyright of the translated version belong to these authors or to the publishing house that translated the article?

Thanks,

François Maurice

A journal accepted my paper after few days with no corrections for upcoming issue. My question is about the form sent for copyright assignment which included the word "sell" as follow

"I, Name Here, MD. (herein called the Assignor), do hereby unconditionally sell, transfer, assign and set over unto the Assignee all my right, title and interest in “Name of Article Here” (herein called the Review). The Assignee shall have the unconditional right at any time hereafter to sell, license or otherwise dispose of any and all rights in the Review, including any and all images in any medium"

Emails are sent by an off-shore company on behalf of editorial director and publisher.

I need your advice.

thanks

I am constantly barraged with requests to upload "my" published manuscripts to this site, as well as individual messages from members here for the same. It is usually wrong to oblige because the journal has the copyright, even for manuscripts that are over 20 years old. Don't get me wrong here, I'm an advocate for the open journal movement so that "non- affiliated" scientists with no affordable access to journals can have access to academia and continue to work as professional scientists, rather than Starbuck baristas while illegitimate (non-peer-reviewed) information reigns for free on the internet. BUT, we're not there yet. For my own promotional purposes, I would like nothing more than to fulfil these requests for my publications. It was a rude awakening to discover that I don't even have the legal right to send pdf's to colleagues through email. I'm old enough to remember the "50 complimentary pre-prints" that you were allowed give or snail mail to colleagues, but not much has changed: there's a paywall for every one of my papers. Until those go away, I cannot / will not upload papers here.

Let's broaden the discussion for open access journals to include the major "name brand" journals in each field, rather than having to take chances with the new upstart "open access" journals.

For Copyright, some journals ask for charges where as others don't?? why ( in context with figures)

Isn't it suppose to be better, if information's are shared. Plus there will be an increase in citation for the particular journal.

If anyone expert in the field can highlight.

Thank You!

Hello everyone, I am interested in patent strategy cases for Amazon sellers - reports, articles with open access, etc. The copyright strategies are interesting as well, but not case studies regarding trademarks.

I would like to use the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire in my dissertation, but I was hoping to collect my data online to minimize contact due to the pandemic. Is it possible to use this assessment online? Are there any copyright restrictions?

Am currently writing a letter to the editor to a journal where I will update the old data published by another team in that same journal. If I put their main data in a column and then my data in the next one, do I still need a copyright license? I will of course cite them. Only two columns in my table will have their data as it is from two years. the other columns in my table will be having fresh data.

I would like to use a questionnaire (physical activity scale for the eldery) for a research project. It seems to be copyright protected. However, I have so far been unable to contact the copyright holders. I cannot find an email address that works nore a webpage. How should one proceed? Is it enough to reference the original work?

Hello All,

I am doing an applied research to measure HR professional's cultural intelligence. As the Standard CQ Scale is copyrighted restrictedly for the organisations. I have to develop a tool and use cultural competence assessment tools that can cover my need. Can you please introduce the tools that are related and open to public to be used.

Thanks

I am really interested in using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) by Koopmans et al., (2013; 2014). However, I am unsure if I can freely use by citing the author it or if it is licensed and I need to ask for permission.

Any other recommendations for open access contextual performance questionnaires will be really appreciated.

Suppose if someone publish a paper in a journal and after around 2-3 years of transferring copyright to the journal, it is discontinued due to any reason. Now due to this the repository of journal is also lost and paper is no more accessible. So in this scenario, is it allowed if author of same paper go for republishing this work with another journal publishing with standard publisher like IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, ACM etc.?

I am currently working on a transfer learning model. Should I add the source code of my model in a public repository? Will it create any copyright problem? As unpublished work, the source code can be used by anyone from a public repository. What should I do?

Thanks in advance for your response.

I with co-authors included almost all a table from other paper in a paper that we are going to submit, but we are not sure if we need permision for copyright to reproduce the table or is only necesary indicate the refrence of the table?

Predatory open access journals are fake and research published in them is actually lost. Why some of them insist to maintain the copyright?

I have just published a book with a big international science publisher (CRC Press, a branch of Taylor and Francis). The multi-author edited book is nice and hopefully useful for many (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321016401_Grasslands_of_the_world_diversity_management_and_conservation), but the experiences with the publisher were so disappointing that some co-authors and I decided to start a public discussion on writing scientific books in the age of greedy publishers.

Here are some key facts of our collaboration with CRC/Francis and Taylor:

· The communication with the publisher was very unreliable and inefficient: e.g. did we receive various requests multiple times and the publisher “forgot” about previous written agreements.

· The typesetting as the only service provided by the publisher was very poor: about 90% of the changes made by the publisher introduced errors into previously correct text or tables and it was very time-consuming for us to find all these errors and remove them again.

· Instead of paying the authors a honorarium for their work, the publisher forced us to pay for the colour figures in our articles.

· The publisher refused to give the authors a complimentary print copy of their book (only the editors got one).

· First the publisher wanted to provide an electronic version of the chapter/book only to each corresponding author, not to all authors, and only after serious negotiations they accepted to provide e-books to all authors. We assumed that these would be functional pdf’s, but instead they received the books in a very weird e-book format with a display in an ugly and hardly readable layout (e.g. all text in bold), not allowing proper printing nor sharing parts of the content (e.g. single pages or figures) with others. This means that the authors did not receive any printed or electronic copy of that exactly corresponds to the published version of their own work.

I am extremely frustrated about the behaviour of CRC/Francis and Taylor and consider the last point as being at the edge of unethical. My feeling is that CRC might only reflect the strategy of most international science publishers to maximise profit by pressing money out of both authors and readers/libraries, while at the same time minimising the service they provide. On the other hand my gut feeling tells me that nowadays with cheap print-on-demand technology and the possibility to distribute printed or open access e-books without the need to involve a big marketing/distribution machinery should allow for other solutions.

Therefore, I would like to ask you two questions:

· Did you make similar experiences with other science publishers, or are they better or even worse?

· Do you see ways how those among us who would like to continue to write nice and useful books can do this without sacrificing themselves to profit-maximisation strategy of the big international science publishers?

Looking forward to your responses and hoping for a lively debate,

I am Kiruthika K studying Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. I am doing a research on pregnancy. I would like to know the copyrights permission for Satisfaction of Daily Occupation scale.

I am Vijaya Dharshini. M pursuing my Final Year in Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai. I am doing my Research project in Reducing Academic Stress among undergraduate students using a leisure activity.

So for doing this study I m using Academic Stress Scale , but the Author of the questionnaire is expired. Now from whom should I get the copyrights Permission to use this scale in my Research Project. Kindly help me out.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a neutral video clip for my control group. I am not looking for specific face datasets, but rather a neutral video about mundane content (e.g. a person explaining something or a neutral/ordinary day-to-day activity such as making the laundry). The video clip should be around 4-5 minutes long and free to use for academic purposes (without copyright issues etc.). If anyone has any suggestions I would highly appreciate them! Thank you!

Recently, I completed a review article, submitted it to the journal, and received comments/questions from the journal editor. Now, as the deadline approaches, I will submit the revised manuscript. Since I have answered the reviewers’ questions and solved all the questions they raised, but in the editor’s email, this is clearly mentioned, that is, only after you have obtained all necessary copyright permissions from the publisher , We can continue publishing. I know this is an important step, but I found that, unlike Willey ACS journals, Springer Nature journals do not provide image licenses for free. Now let me ask everyone, how to solve this problem? Since I am a student, I cannot afford huge fees. Although the manuscript is already in the review process, the images cannot be changed. What should I do now? Has anyone else encountered the same problem as me? If so, please guide me and help me get rid of the pressure...! I would be very grateful if someone guides me in the right direction.

Some labs now have websites to increase the exposure of their lab. Are you allowed to use your published figures in your own website?

Also, I don't really understand the policy of uploading papers to your website. If it's allowed here in ResearchGate so it is allowed in any website?

I want to know whether it is right to take copyright by a non-tribe on the traditional knowledge of the tribal community.

I need appropriate figures and images for review articles

Please share links to research methodologies in the field of establishing the existence of copyright in the results of various types of creative activity or links to interesting case studies of non-conventional copyright.

I would like to use some of the figures in a book chapter that is going to be published in Springer. As these journals (source of figures) are open access, I would like to just confirm that is it sufficient for me to simply cite publications and no further permission required from journals. Also, is there any restriction in the use of numbers of figures from different articles? Kindly share any other important information regarding the matter.

When I click into reprints and permission, I got the instruction which is attached herewith.

So, I would like to confirm do I need further permission for using some figures from these articles in my book chapter.

With regards

Chitra

we get the request to share papers, what is allowed to share with these requests. what can we share without violating copyright policy of various journals

I am a journalist and editor and independent scholar. I receive notifications from Research Gate of my published work. I have claimed them as mine -- which they are. Then I am asked to upload full text. The copyright belongs to those publications which published my work, so the full text is with them. Can I upload links to that work when it is open access. Otherwise for copyright reasons I will probably need their consent to upload full texts as published.

I copied a paragraph from a academic paper and saved in a word document a few months ago. However, I forgot to leave the reference at that time, so I want to find the reference of that paragraph. I failed when I used Google to search, as it seems the main text is hidden due to the copyright issue. Online free plagiarism checkers did not work either.

It would be highly appreciated if someone can teach me any methods I can try to search the reference.

This is related to my earlier question. I see each pre-print paper should choose copyright option at Medrxiv, Biorxiv, etc. When I look at Medrxiv, it looks as if there are two commonly used options, CC-BY or CC BY-NC-ND. When I look at open journals, they use CC-BY most often.

I wonder if anybody could make comments on pros and cons.

The link is:

I would appreciate it.

I intend to use a scale that is copyright but I would be using part of it and would test CFA, do I need to obtain permission? For obtaining permission whom I have to approach?

There are several discussions regarding the types of authorship irregularities of scientific articles that become more abusive and more frequent: gift author, guest author, pressured author, ghost author... Some define a ghost author as "a person who has made an important contribution to the research or writing of a manuscript but is not named as an author." (Pain Medicine 2015; 16: 416–420). Today, I invite you to think about what kind of situations ghost authors can occur in, and how do you think authors and editors can deal when identifying such situation. Share your opinion!

Most, if not all, publishers approach the acquisition of original work through the transfer of publication rights of the author to those of the publisher. Hence, the copyright is given to the publisher vs. the author. I propose that instead of lessening the value of published works through Open Access, publishers should offer authors the opportunity to benefit more from their own work. My interest is to create a publishing house who LEASES original works while guaranteeing copyright to the author. Of course, individual agreements would include a negotiated percentage of compensation above publishing costs, length of lease, marketing responsibilities, etc. When you answer, please tell me if you are new to publishing, have published in journals, or have published books. It would also be nice to know how many estimated items in journals and/or book publications. Thank you!

When we decide to select a journal for publication of a research article. Sometimes we get confused among impact factor and quartile ranking. Some journals have high impact factor but low quartile ranking and vice-versa. So, Readers are requested to express their valuable suggestions for the same.

I am looking for free images of plant anatomical structures to be included in a book on plant anatomy. Specifically, I am looking for light microscope images of plant cells and tissues. I have many I have taken myself, but still are missing a few. The sites I have found have watermarked images. I would also like you to recommend a manual on how to cite the source of these images while respecting copyrights. Any information will be appreciated.

I am running a quality improvement project on guideline adherence and I would like to use a video from a journal as part of the educational material of my study. However, the video is old and for keeping it up-to-date with the current guidelines I need to edit it (Add new references, etc). Do I need the permission of either of the publisher or the authors? How should I mention this use in any possibly upcoming papers?

As part of an insilico study, I generated virtual analogues based on the 3D structures of patented drugs and chemical compounds which were published in journals requiring copyright clearance. Some of the 3D structures of these drugs are also available in public databases of chemical compounds. I intend to publish the 2D structures of the generated analogues. Are there any copyright restrictions on the use of 3D structures of chemical compounds in insilico research ? Would it be a violation of patent or intellectual property copyrights of a patented drug compound if I make use of the 3D structure of the drug in insilico research ?

Thank you for any inputs.

Many interesting articles come up in Adv Materials or Adv Fuct. Materials, etc in the Wiley journals that do not give access to free copyright permissions even republishing in reputed journals... Does it not appears that these policies must be modified otherwise this decreases the impact of the journals themselves, as many researchers can't afford to accumulate project funds for re-using them all the time???

I'm wondering if I can use a copyrighted photo in my survey. In my case that would be a photo of an innovative product (taken from the producer's press materials) which I would like to show to my respondents. I cannot state the author/copyright owner (producer), as it would be counterproductive - I'm studying the impact of the brand. Moreover, I would like to describe this product to respondents as a product from a different brand. Do I need permission for that or would that be Fair Use?

Dear Colleagues, I hope someone can provide some answer :

I recently had notified by Research Gate that ELSEVIER editorial did notified them that they needed to take one Scientific Article I had on my Research Items down, due to violation of ELSEVIER's Copyright.

This article was published on the Journal "Nano Energy", of ELSEVIER's, and I appear as the first autor.

Is there a way to keep one of this articles on your RG Items without infringing the Copyrights of ELSEVIER ?

Can I try to upload it again? This time under the "Private" mode (not open sharing, but via request)

Or it's better to leave the matter alone? Meaning that all ELSEVIER's editorial articles cannot be shared freely on Research Gate ?

Thank You! Best Regards !

Could you recommend me some articles about the exceptions and limitations of copyright in EU digital education?

Respected researchers,

I was requested from a Journal's associate editor to state whether a permission from the copyright holder was obtained for using few questions from a certain questionnaire. I did not use the whole questionnaire in my study and the work of the authors (copyright holders) whom I used some of their questionnaire questions is already cited in the manuscript? Is this mandatory if not the whole questionnaire was used?

Thanks in advance!

I usually upload my published papers in RG with the comment that Uploaded full-paper is not for mass dissemination but just for students and colleagues. But today, I just got an email from RG that my public full paper got removed since it infringes the copyright of Elsevier.

I know what and how important copyright is and uploading full paper in RG has been widely discussed. But my question is, alternatively, if it is fine just to upload my own preprint, not a publisher's version.

I am writing a review paper (Information Technology - Human Computer Interaction domain) and I would like to re-use a diagram (of a framework, or model) to show more clearly the concepts I am talking about.

However, I couldn't obtain permissions (can't afford it or unable to contact copyright holder). I decided to recreate the diagram from scratch. I did not change, add or edit anything in the diagram. I simply re-created it.

Do I still need permission for this? Is it still considered a copyright issue?

To what extent am I obligated to share a publication that is rather lengthy and to which I contributed a small portion? I do not have a digital copy to send. Also, wouldn't there be copyright issues? I wanted to convey this to the member who made the request. What is the best way to do that?

There are many ways to extract original source data from figures and plots in publications. If one were to do that and reanalyze the data in the same or a different way, is that acceptable in a publication or is it a copyright violation? The original data would be referenced. Is it okay to reproduce the original plot using that data or alter it to show how it differs when the data are analyzed differently?

Hi,

I was exploring the idea of taking a number of stills from video games and films to annoate and use as a training dataset on a neural net / DL architecture.

The issue of copyright was thrown at me, I'm sure this must have been addressed by lots of researchers out there. Can we use stills for a dataset? Can that dataset be made public on completion?

video games might be easier I guess, as thats content is partially generated by the users actions (as in my Call of Duty arena will look different to anyone elses depending on who's playing, weapons in use, special effects etc)

Or would it be the case to seek permission from the copyright owners? (in this case Paramount and Blizzard lol)

thanks

Richard

I've tried and failed so far to find out where the ARM measures copyright resides. Help appreciated!

In view of the controversy with the SCI-HUB organization, I would like to know your opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of access to free scientific knowledge.

In many or even most cases, it will be necessary to manually enter a new reference in EndNote if you are trying to cite a Web page.  Keep in mind that Web sites can be tricky to cite because information is not always consistent or clear.  (Click here for a short video titled "Adding a Manual Reference to EndNote.")

In an EndNote library, go to References and choose New Reference.  In the blank reference, use the "Reference Type" pull-down menu to change the selection from the default "Journal Article" to "Web Page."  Type or paste in as much of the following information as you can ascertain (see screenshot below):

Attach JPJ File Below

Here is a sample Web page citation in several different format styles.  Remember that when you change the style in EndNote, it does the work of changing how the citation will look, based on the information you entered in your blank reference.

I have been receiving requests to share copies of a number of my articles. I don't want to violate copyright in doing so, however. How do I know if I have the rights to share an article I am first author of.

Thanks,

Hi, I have a question regarding the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) (Maslach, Leiter) for assessing the experience of burnout to a fairly large sample of participants. I have the impression that it is protected with copyright permission and it is not free (Mindgarden). But what about academic research? Is there a way to administer it free of charge? Does anybody know how I can get the scale items?

Hi, my teams and I are currently working on a literature review. We also want to make our article to be better processed and understood by others, thus we want to create medical illustrations. However, I always wonder how can we create medical illustrations without causing copyright infringement. For instance, if we want to draw an image of the heart and we used an available image on the internet. Can we take that image as an inspiration? If we can't, I'm just plain confused because of how many different images of a heart could it be?

I would like to get permission to republish a figure from previous articles. For example:

Publisher A published a paper with Figure 1.

Publisher B sought permission to republish Figure 1.

Publisher C would like to republish Figure 1. Would C seek permission from A or B?

And what happens if C is not aware that Figure 1 was initially published by A?

Hello,

I am trying to work on a problem where i need a corpus of songs which can be either Hindi (Bollywood) or even English but must provide some sort of user rating or likingness for each song. This rating may be in terms of songs downloads.

If no such standard dataset is available then whats the way forward which does not create ethical or copyright issues.

Thanks in advance to all.

Do I have the right add full text of my publications publicly in researchgate account without infringing copyright laws?

Usually review articles contain two or more diagrams from previously published research paper. What are the procedures to get copy rights from a journal to reproduce one or two diagrams in a review article?

Often when one searches images relating to a specific topic on google, there are many available pictures. Some of which do not have copyrights. Is it appropriate to use these pictures to present research findings with/without citing the source since this is available for all to use?

Those who present stimuli in experiments: The existing relevant categories used in talk about copyright---fair use, educational purposes---seem to ignore the use case of taking an image as a stimulus in an experiment. Is this use covered in any way? Are there established practices?

I understand that one might simply take anything from the internet, trusting that none of the experiment participants will be a copyright lawyer working for a rights holder of some images used in this experiment. But in the sense of open science, I do intend to make public what stimuli we used, so the quick-and-dirty approach is not viable.

So again: are there rules covering use as stimuli? What practices do people use, given that we don't want to keep secret the stimuli used?

Can I republish the introduction section of a work in progress? The copyright of the first work is CC BY 4.0 Does that count as self-plagiarism?

Does anyone know of a free biology software NOT SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT for publishing papers?

Dear colleagues,

I am quite a while in this business and I as well all of my colleagues routinely use survey scales published (and printed) in journal papers.

In the course of planning a new multi-member project, one of the partners claimed that even then there are copyright issues and one needs some kind of approval....

I am puzzled and would like to hear some thoughts (or better profound knowledge :)

Best,

Holger
