<p>For Shima they say the following (amongst many other things - some good ideas we could use, if we wanted) - is this what you mean?</p>

Sorry Mathieu, I'm, a little unclear on what you meant by 'now it just says "all pubs in public domain"' - what says that? JoPP?<br>

<div>Hi Mathieu<br>
<br>
</div>
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.<br>
<br>
</div>
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?

I am one of the volunteer Associate Editors at Directory of Open Access Journals (<span>DOAJ</span>). I am currently processing your application for Journal of Peer Production to be included in
<span>DOAJ</span>.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
Your application states that you do not have article processing charges (<span>APCs</span>) or article submission charges. However, the link you gave where this information can be found does not mention
<span>APCs</span> or submission charges. In order to be included in <span>DOAJ</span>, you must explicitly state that you do not have such charges.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

One of the requirements for entry into <span>DOAJ</span> is that your journal website must include an open access statement. The link provided on the application,
<a href="http://peerproduction.net/" id="m_-6135387837475557771m_6125140410823552547LPlnk219910" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(5,99,193); text-decoration:underline">
http://peerproduction.net/</a>, does not have a statement. I would like to suggest that you take a look at some of the journals that are currently in
<span>DOAJ</span>. <i>Film Criticism</i> has a brief, clear statement about open access that also describes how readers can use the content:
<a href="http://www.filmcriticismjournal.org/about.html" id="m_-6135387837475557771m_6125140410823552547LPlnk929304" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(5,99,193); text-decoration:underline">
http://www.filmcriticismjourna<wbr>l.org/about.html</a> Using such a statement would also fulfill another requirements for inclusion in
<span>DOAJ</span>: stating your license or use terms for the reader.</p>
<br>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
Your application also stated that the author does not hold the copyright without restrictions, and does not retain publishing rights without restrictions. However, I could not find any information about the copyright transfer requirement, or an indication of
the rights holder for a published paper. This signals a lack of transparency in the authoring and publishing process. If you send me a link where this information can be found, I can update your
<span>DOAJ</span> application.</p>

I look forward to hearing from you soon.</p>
