Academic Journal Policy Database (AJPD). Experience shows that violating publishers' publication policies is one of the main concerns of faculty and students embarking on electronic submission of a thesis or dissertation (ETDs). It is often difficult to discover the publishers' policies and thus even more difficult to properly inform faculty and students about these policies. University of Cincinnati (US)

Publisher Copyright Policies. The majority of publishers support the right of academic authors to mount their own work online: however, some prohibit authors from using their work in this way as a condition of their copyright transfer agreement which they ask the author to sign. SHERPA maintains the SHERPA/RoMEO listing, which details the rights given to authors by the major publishers of academic journals.

Notes on changes: referring to the Academic Single Institution Licence in the following; parallel changes have been made to all the licences, though the clause numbers may vary a little.
1. Unnecessary provisions have been removed: the last clause on resolving disputes by an ‘expert’ (clause 12) has been removed as being superfluous. References to “agent” and “Publisher’s Representative” have been removed as they have, in the event, proved to be unnecessary.
2. Clause 1 Definitions now includes definitions of Learning Object, Text Mining and Virtual Learning Environment.
3. New usage rights in respect of these definitions will be found in clauses 3.2.3, 3.2.4, and 3.2.6.International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC).
