[JoPP-Public] Fw: Your journal application to DOAJ: Journal of Peer Production

Thu Aug 17 04:52:52 CEST 2017

Hi Mathieu

What's JoPP's current arrangement with copyrights - is there a current
arrangement? I'm guessing that authors don't agree to anything when they
submit an article to JoPP. We'll need to implement something for the future
- but also need to work on what to do with work that's already been
published. To add complexity to the situation it's usual for universities
to own the IP in academics' work.

I spoke to a colleague who manages an online journal that is registered
with DOAJ, and their (c) statement is quite brief but might provide a
template? http://shimajournal.org/index.php

cheers
