Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, announced that it now offers its ePrints through the Copyright Clearance Center's (CCC) Rightslink service. With this development, the publisher seeks to provide customers with additional flexibility in the use of copyrighted material, which has become particularly important in a digital world.
Emerald content users will now be able to more quickly and easily reuse copyrighted material published in over 180 Emerald journals and 114 eBook Series. It will increase efficiency for the large community of users who wish to lawfully request ePrints of Emerald content.
This is an addition to Emerald's permissions service which is also available through Rightslink. Since January 2008, permissions have been delivered through the CCC's Rightslink online ordering system to enable users to gain instant information and guide prices direct from the article abstract page.
According to the company, the Rightslink service will continue to support authors who assign copyright to Emerald and will not affect authors' rights to freely reproduce or republish their own work. Emerald joins the growing ranks of publishers that have adopted Rightslink. These include Elsevier, Oxford University Press, Springer, Nature Publishing Group, The University of Chicago Press and Blackwell Publishing.
