A journal’s dissemination policy defines the conditions for disseminating and sharing the articles it puts online: who can reuse them, under what conditions, under what licence, with the need to cite the source…<\/p>\n\n
It is therefore a question of fixing the various elements: copyright, Creative Commons licence, self-archiving, etc.<\/p>\n\n
It is now essential for any journal to formalise and display this distribution policy on its website. Various French and European measures, such as the various European calls for projects, now provide a framework for this approach and strongly encourage journals to form an open policy.<\/p>\n\n
Elements of the dissemination policy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The choice of a Creative Commons license remains the choice of an author or a journal. However, it is sometimes necessary to take into account the impact of the choice of certain licences, such as the policy of funders or the admission criteria for certain referencing databases. See our article on this subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The dissemination policy defines the rights of authors to disseminate their productions. This information is important and should be included on the journal’s website. Defining its dissemination policy allows the journal to be indexed in Sherpa Romeo<\/a>. In addition, it is important information for inclusion in the DOAJ.<\/p>\n\n Tools exist to help you draft your dissemination policy.<\/p>\n\n Mir@bel<\/u><\/a> offers a comprehensive academic pathway<\/em><\/u><\/a> for journals wishing to achieve a thorough dissemination policy. Here is a summary of the key points.<\/p>\n\n Here is a dissemination policy template that you can include on your journal’s website. Simply delete any unnecessary entries:<\/p>\n\n Authors retain their full rights. Name of the journal<\/strong> allows authors to deposit their publication in open archives, with the co-authors’ consent.<\/p>\n\n Authors can submit all versions of their article, including the editor’s version\/submitted version\/approved version (delete as appropriate)<\/strong>, without embargo, and provided that they indicate the URL to the original article.<\/p>\n\n Journals should post their dissemination policy at least on the journal’s website. It is recommended to also list it on the Sherpa Romeo<\/u><\/a> website. In the “Contact” section of this site, a form allows you to propose a new journal and its distribution policy.<\/p>\n\n You can also declare your distribution policy on the Mir@bel<\/u><\/a> website, which will then automatically transmit<\/a> your information to Sherpa Romeo.<\/p>\n\n\n
