1. Decoding Contracts: Publication in the Shadow of Elsevier's Article Sharing Policy Kevin Smith @klsmith4906 Anne Gilliland @UNCScholComm Will Cross @tceles_B_hsup

2. What is Elsevier Doing? Imposing embargos (up to 4 years) on all self- archiving in IRs – Personal websites can use post-prints immediately – CC BY NC ND license required Offering several mechanisms for short-term sharing through proprietary portals – Want to control the sharing environment

3. Copyright Transfer vs License The Contributor assigns to Wiley-Blackwell, during the full term of copyright and any extensions or renewals, all copyright in and to the Contribution, and all rights therein, including but not limited to the right to publish, republish, transmit, sell, distribute and otherwise use the Contribution in whole or in part in electronic and print editions of the Journal and in derivative works throughout the world, in all languages and in all media of expression now known or later developed, and to license or permit others to do so. In consideration of NPG agreeing to publish the Contribution the Authors grant to NPG for the full term of copyright in the Contribution and any extensions thereto, subject to clause 2 below, the exclusive licence (a) to publish, reproduce, distribute, display and store the Contribution in all forms, formats and media whether now known or hereafter developed (including without limitation in print, digital and electronic form) throughout the world, In consideration of the Publisher’s agreement to publish the Work, Author hereby grants license to Publisher the right to print, publish, reproduce, display, broadcast, edit, and distribute the Work, in whole or in part, throughout the world in all languages and by all forms now known or hereafter developed, including electronic format, and to market, sell or license the Work or any part of it as it sees fit.

4. Why Work for Hire is a New and Dangerous Approach You acknowledge that ASME has specially ordered and commissioned the Paper as a work made for hire and accordingly, ASME is the “author” of the Paper for purposes of copyright laws. If it is determined that the Paper is not a work made for hire, then you hereby irrevocably assign to ASME forever, as of the date of creation, all worldwide rights in the Paper, including all United States and foreign copyrights (and extensions of them), and all other proprietary rights in the Paper.

5. Why do it? Invalidates any effort to grant a license in the copyright prior to transfer (i.e., campus Open Access policies) Eliminates 35-year “termination” right. NB, OUP uses similar language for book chapters; slightly less absurd, but still disrespectful of authorship.

6. How can we fix this?

7. How Can You Share It? Think about what you want to be able to do Reuse portions of the work, such as illustrations? Allow you &your colleagues to use the work? – In the classroom, course management system and in other publications? Post on your website, an institutional repository, or a subject-specific repository?

8. Standard Scholarly Sharing Are you getting more rights than you already have under fair use? Are you getting fewer rights? If contract states rights that you already have, the terms aren’t a particularly good deal. – Not a bad thing, but don’t feel obligated

9. Sharing for Openness What version can you share? Is there an embargo? Do you understand what you can share? When you ask the publisher for clarification, do you have confidence in the answer?
