Notes and Information for Authors and Their Employers
IEEE POLICY
In connection with its publishing activities, it is the formal policy of the IEEE
to own the copyrights to all copyrightable material in its technical publications and to
the individual contributions contained therein in order to protect the interests of the IEEE,
its authors and their employers, and, at the same time, to facilitate the appropriate
re-use of this material by others. The IEEE distributes its technical publications
throughout the world and does so by various means such as hard copy, microfiche,
microfilm, and electronic media. It also abstracts and may translate its publications, and
articles contained therein, for inclusion in various compendiums and similar publications,
etc. When an article is submitted to the IEEE for publication, the IEEE
understands that its acceptance of the article implies that IEEE has the rights to
do all of the things it normally does with such an article.
IEEE Policy 6.17 - CLEARANCE OF PAPERS - applies to all material
submitted to IEEE. "The IEEE must of necessity assume that material
presented at its meetings or submitted to its publications is properly available for
general dissemination to the audiences these activities are organized to serve. It is the
responsibility of the authors, not the IEEE, to determine whether disclosure of
their material requires the prior consent of other parties and, if so, to obtain it".
Furthermore, if an author uses within his/her article material that has been
previously published and/or copyrighted, the IEEE must assume that the appropriate
permission has been obtained for such use and that any required credit lines, copyright
notices, etc., are duly noted.
IEEE OBLIGATIONS: In exercising its rights under
copyright the IEEE will make all reasonable efforts to act in the interests of the
authors and employers as well as in its own interest. In handling third-party
reprint/republication requests for an IEEE work, the IEEE requires that 1)
The consent of the first-named author be sought as a condition in granting republication (
of a full video ) to others. 2) The consent of the employer be obtained as a condition in
granting permission to others to re-use all or portions of a video for promotion or
marketing purposes.
AUTHOR/COMPANY RIGHTS: If you are employed and you
prepared your video as a part of your job, the rights to your video initially rest with
your employer. In that case, when you sign the copyright transfer form, we assume you are
authorized to do so by your employer and that your employer has consented to all the terms
and conditions of this form. If not, it should be signed by someone so authorized. (See
also Policy 6.17 above.)
SPECIAL NOTE TO EMPLOYERS: Just as the IEEE requires a
signed copyright transfer form (for copyrightable material) in order to do "business
as usual," it is the intent of the transfer portion of the form to return rights to
the author and employer so that they, too, may do "business as usual."
Please note that although authors are permitted to reuse all or portions of
their IEEE copyrighted material in other works, this does not include granting
third-party requests for reprinting, republishing, or other types of re-use. All
third-party requests must be handled by the IEEE rights and Permissions Office. |
