<br>We were told and we also got convienced that we should go for CC BY ND. But now as we are progressing, I feel unfortable in using 'ND'.<br><br>Why?? the license says -- No Derivative Works — You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.<br>
<br>But, all the research is derived out from the existing and new things would be built on the existing.<br><br>I would like to advice to the Editorial Board, OAJMAP and the Management Committee, MAPAI to go for CC-BY.<br>
<br>Whats your suggestions pleases??<br><br>Sridhar<br><br></blockquote><div>I would strongly support CC-BY. There has been a lot of discussion recently about this and two papers by Mike Carroll and others arguing convincingly that only CC-BY makes sense. CC-NC is impossible to define or operate in practice and only serves to prevent useful things happening. CC-ND prevents any normal scholarly and other re-use.<br>
<br>The funding agencies are all now insisting on CC-BY for "Open Access". So by adopting that you become acceptable target for publishing their funded work.<br><br>P.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
