1. CLARIFICATION OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

• A. GRANTING OF RIGHTS

  Making your publication publicly available on res doctae will only be possible if you transfer the digital rights of use to the Academy. Please print out the prepared Rights Agreement and fill in your name as well as the complete title of your publication in the text field provided for this purpose. Then please send us the Agreement signed by you to the following postal address:

  
  z. Hd. des Publikationsreferenten
  Theaterstraße 7
  37073 Göttingen
  

  In case that co-authors have contributed to your work or publishers are involved, please make sure that each of these persons will also sign his/her own Rights Agreements and will send it to the Academy.

  Please keep in mind that your work cannot be made freely available until receipt of all signed Agreements.

• B. SECOND PUBLICATIONS

  In case that your work has already been published anywhere else, it can only be made available if the rights of the authority that first published your work (a publishing company, for example) are not in conflict with an electronic utilization on res doctae. This to a great extent depends on the respective agreements entered into between the publishing companies and the authors or publishers. The various regulations range from a general prohibition of distribution of the published work and a restriction of this exclusiveness in terms of time to the permission to publish the work on a Web server belonging to the institution of the author.

  Should you have any doubts regarding the admissibility of your second publication, please get in touch with our Publikationsreferenten, that is with the person responsible for publications (mailto:adw2@gwdg.de) and be ready to provide the following information:

  • Name of all authors (or the name of the legal successor in case that the author has died),
  • Title, year and publishing company of the work,
  • Type of the work (monograph, anthology, essay, etc.) and
  • Rights Agreements with the publishing company (authors contracts, other rights arrangements, etc.).

  You will find further information about Open Access and second publications here. .

Microsoft Word, LaTeX ), provided that this file is not subject to any safety restrictions and is not protected by a password and that it contains all components which are an integral part of the content (such as, for example, graphic, video and audio files).
