[GOAL] Re: OASPA Adds Licensing FAQs Page to Information Resources

Hi Jeffrey,

One set of licensing terms applies to their generic web content, and the other to specific articles that are surfaced via that website.  This isn't a conflict in licensing terms as different things are being licensed, although the presentation could perhaps be a bit clearer.

With kind wishes,

Alicia

Thanks Timothy and Marc for your helpful answers.

I didn't select my example very well. Please allow me to ask the question again with the following examples:

Claire,

I am delighted that OASPA is taking the lead on clarifying some of the confusion surrounding licensing OA journal articles. I see much confusion among the publishers I examine and analyze.

The two biggest problems I see are 1). Contradictory licensing statements, such as the one shown below,

Hi Jeffrey:

If you're referring to the presence of the CC mark in addition to the copyright notice below it, these are not contradictory. CC licenses operate on top of copyright, thus it is not inconsistent to list both of these.

and 2). Individual journal articles that lack any licensing information at all.

I also see publishers that require authors to sign over copyright to the publisher but then license the articles with a CC BY license.

During the review procedure for publishers applying to join OASPA, one of the key requirements is appropriate licensing of published material.  This area can often be the source of the most confusion, particularly for smaller organisations.  With this in mind, OASPA has posted this set of licensing FAQs to help publishing organisations and individuals find out more.  See http://oaspa.org/information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/.
