Intellectual property

All policies on intellectual property, including copyright and publishing licenses, should be clearly described. In addition, any costs associated with publishing should be obvious to authors and readers. Policies should be clear on what counts as prepublication that will preclude consideration. What constitutes plagiarism and redundant/overlapping publication should be specified

Are copyrighted conference audiotapes considered "prior publication"?

案件编号：
18-10
案例文本（匿名）：

An editor received a query from an author: “Your guidelines are clear that presenting data at a society meeting does not preclude publication. But what if the society records the presentation, retains copyright of that recording, and posts it online? Is asking presenters to turn over copyright of a recording of data presented at a prepublication stage and disseminating the recording as they see fit crossing the "prior publication" line?”

Question(s) for the COPE Forum
• Are presentation audiotapes considered prior publication?
•如果磁带受版权保护，那么这是否禁止出版？

Advice:

法律是为了保护出版商和版权they cover only the presentation of something and not the underlying research or data. In the case of audiotapes, the organisation only owns the audio rights not the paper rights, so the editor should check the copyright that has previously been assigned. It is also possible that the audiotapes are behind a paywall for members only, so the distribution of the material might be very limited. There is a need, however, to seek legal advice in such cases and the editor should consult the legal department of the publisher if there is any question. Additionally, when a paper is presented, it is not generally presented in the same format as a scholarly paper submitted to a journal, so there might be significant differences between the audio and the written material, with the exception of the data presented. The main concern is duplicate publication; however, audiotapes are not generally considered primary sources for the purpose of reviews of the literature.

There is a similar situation with dissertations. Do poster presentations have the same copyright rules? Generally, previous presentations in the form of papers presented at a conference are allowed although there might be some text overlap with the abstract, which is usually all that is printed. In other situations, a published abstract in English might accompany an article written in another language, but with appropriate credits, a complete translation of that article might be appropriate for publication.

现有出版物的参数是日志决定。例如，期刊可以决定发布出于论文或在机构内部分发的审计所产生的文件，但它们应该是透明的，并披露以前的任何部分的出版物或版权。来自论坛的一个看法是版权问题支持保护人们免受同行审查的东西的家长思想，这可能是某些学科的问题。另一个问题期刊可能会考虑涉及其发行新闻稿的政策。一些期刊采用英国人统治和禁运来排除误导的传播，特别是在与公共卫生和安全有关的研究中。

Follow up:

作者的支持的问题就这样解决了。The association changed its policy requiring presenters to have presentations taped and to hand over copyright.

Preprint platforms have been common in physics and mathematics but the preprint landscape is changing rapidly with new platforms emerging across various disciplines. This raises opportunities for discussion across communities and for all those involved: preprint platforms, journals, authors, funders and institutions.

Licence for a published scale

案件编号：
18-04
案例文本（匿名）：

We have received a number of manuscripts involving a published scale where the scale’s developer is known to comb the literature and ask those who used the scale for research to pay for a retroactive license, sometimes asking for very large sums of money.

We have started asking authors on all submissions where the scale is used to provide a copy of the license agreement with the scale’s developer. In most cases, the authors do not have the agreement and are not receiving prompt responses from the scale’s developer and his team when they contact him to ask about the license. We have had to withdraw these manuscripts from submission until authors can provide evidence to indicate that the scale’s developer has granted them a license.

在一个更复杂的情况下，我们发现了使用尺度的接受（但未发布）稿件。我们在接受后向作者询问，以获得正确的权限（他们最初没有这样做）。他们随后获得了正确的许可证，但规模的开发人员回到了一些关于纸质的评论，他要求作者在出版之前进行。这包括将他自己的三篇文章添加到参考名单（但没有表明应在文中引用的地方）。他还将他的姓名和联系信息添加到论文中的一些地方，最值得注意的是在致谢部分。

The scale’s license contract and copyright agreement include a number of ‘copyright requirements’ that the authors must agree to. One of these is that all manuscripts using the scale that are being considered for publication must be submitted to the developer first to check that all copyright requirements are included. We felt it would be editorially irresponsible to allow these changes to the manuscript after peer review and have had to withdraw the manuscript (the developer also indicated that he "will not allow" the authors to publish the version of the manuscript that was accepted). The authors were very understanding about withdrawing their paper as they had been having a difficult time dealing with the scale’s developer and his team.

我们还有另一个案例，作者正在从他们的稿件中删除与发布规模相关的数据，但添加一个注释以指示他们为什么这样做。因此，结果的报告将不完整。

We disagree with the actions of the researcher and his enforcement of copyright on the tool. We are currently only publishing articles that have a license permitted by the scale’s developer because we do not want to be sued or have to retract the articles.

Question(s) for the COPE Forum

•我们应该如何处理使用这种比例的情况？

•我们应该采取与开发人员行为有关的任何行动吗？

Advice:

The Forum asked if the journal had sought legal advice. There are copyright and licensing issues here that need to be addressed. Who holds copyright on the scale? Is the right to use the scale also copyrighted? What are the legal claims and what is required by the license (for example, is it use of the scale, reporting of the scale, etc). Perhaps consulting with inhouse lawyers could determine if the demands of the developer are reasonable. The Forum agreed this is a very difficult issue, with no easy solution.

建议是写一个社论，突出这个问题。似乎可能存在许多遇到类似问题的期刊。编辑可能会考虑联系其他编辑并制作联合编辑或意见作品，突出了这种类型的行为周围的问题，并以这种方式举行作者来赎金，并强调这一事实，即这对科学知识的进步并不乐观公共利益。

背景/背景

预印文字是由作者在一个公开访问的平台中发布的学术稿件，通常以前或与同行评审过程并行。虽然通过预印度平台分享稿件在某些学科（如物理和数学）多年来，但传统上的其他学科的摄取量较低，可能受到某些期刊出版商的研究文化差异和强烈反对的影响。

为什么要使用预印刷？

    A common issue encountered by editors is overlap of text with an author’s own previously published work, particularly with the increasing use of plagiarism detection software. This practice is known as ‘text recycling’ (also sometimes referred to as ‘self-plagiarism’). Opinions on the acceptability of text recycling vary greatly and it can be a challenge for editors to know how to deal with it once it has been identified.

      Title case

    Preprints and working papers have been posted and shared for many years. They report research results that have not undergone peer review, although in many cases the authors also submit to a journal (before, after or at the same time as making a preprint available). In the past 5 years, the number of preprint servers and preprints has expanded and new disciplines, notably biology and life sciences, have seen rapid growth in the number of preprints.

    The topic for discussion at this Forum was ‘Electronic Responses to Blogs and Journal Articles’. Specifically, what are the issues, in terms of publication ethics, surrounding blogs where journals are the target of concerted 'attacks' by the proponents of one particular viewpoint, and are there appropriate guidelines on managing such situations?
