Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Limited, UK, has announced that Reprint and Permissions for Emerald's eBook content is now available through Copyright Clearance Center's (CCC) Rightslink service. Rightslink is an online service that provides a content licensing solution for publishers.
By extending its partnership to the Rightslink service to cover both eBook and journal content, the company seeks to provide researchers with an extensive opportunity to identify and seek permission to reprint relevant content in a more efficient way. The new developments help create an easy and effective tool for eBook content users wishing to reuse copyrighted material from any of the 102 eBook titles, enabling lawful re-use, distribution or republication of Emerald's copyright materials.
Rightslink is an online service that enables content users to purchase copyright permissions and reprints directly from content on the web or in database services. The service is expected to speed up the process for authors seeking guidance in relation to reprints, allowing them to locate the abstract of the article they wish to reuse in the Emerald database, select the rights required and receive a quick, immediate quote.
