Granting file rights

The Author can choose the license for the file if he holds the copyright for the publication i.e. he can make available and distribute the previously published work without any restrictions.

Often the material rights are transferred to the Publisher after signing a publishing contract or publishing the work. Therefore, we recommend checking the provisions of the relevant agreement or contacting the Publisher directly to obtain consent for further dissemination of the publication through the Jagiellonian University Repository. If the Publisher consents to publication in the repository but does not specify any license, the decision on the license rests with the Author’s discretion.

To find out whether the publisher or the journal permits self-archiving, you can check the Sherpa Romeo database. For more information on how to use the Sherpa Romeo database, please refer to the section Policy.

 

In the Repository, the Author can choose a license for the file from among 6 types of Creative Commons licenses in version 4.0 International or 3.0 Poland:

We suggest using the tool to simulate the selection of the appropriate Creative Commons license, which is available here. After answering key questions the simulator will indicate the license adequate for the answers.

 

⇒ If the Author has not obtained permission to publish the file in RUJ but attaches the file to verify the bibliographic description, he should select the option
'Only bibliographic description' in the 'License of the file' section when filling out the bibliographic description form. In this case, the file will be removed after
the description is approved.
