[Sociam-soton] Re: Licenses/copyright for SOCIAM papers @ WebSci '15?

Stick with the traditional and go with Option 2

And of course, as the ACM Copyright rules allow, put the full paper on EPrints so it's full OA anyway

Hello,

For the other SOCIAM papers at WebSci this year, which license are we putting on things?  I was quite surprised to see so many options in the ACM's new form

Option 1: Pay OA fee ($700USD) - permanently Open Access
Option 2: Not OA - Copyright (Traditional ACM Copyright) - Authors who want ACM to manage the rights and permissions associated with their work, which includes defending against improper use by third parties, can use ACM’s traditional copyright transfer agreement.
Option 3: Not OA - License  - Authors who prefer to retain copyright of their work can sign an exclusive licensing agreement, which gives ACM the right but not the obligation to defend the work against improper use by third parties.

Would someone please let me know what we're doing for the other SOCIAM papers so we can be consistent ?

Thanks!
Max
