Journals, Conference Papers and Books
Where possible, full papers are provided. In a few cases, reprinting is precluded by copyright restrictions
concerning an author's right to reprint, and thus only titles and bibliographic details are given.
In the cases of papers published on web servers elsewhere, a link is given, for example to an electronic
journal or web published proceedings for a conference.
Some suggestions about "putting your reprints on the web"
- Include a paragraph Please cite this paper as: giving a conventional reference citation based
upon the original publication or presentation. Think of this as a way to facilitate another author's
citation of your work, by giving a "copy and pasteable" reference requiring little or even no editing.
Include the URL for your web reprint.
- In general papers are subject to copyright by the journal owner or conference organisers. You must
request and obtain a copyright permission, or be satisfied that published statements or precedents
by the copyright owner permit you to reprint your own paper as a web reprint. It would be a helpful
courtesy to give the URL, if any, for the professional society or publisher or conference responsible
for the original publication of your paper.
- If a web published version exists elsewhere, in general it is not necessary to have a reprint on
your own web server. Just place the appropriate link in the list of your publications which appears
on your server.
- As a courtesy to readers, indicate the size and nature of the file or files associated with each
entry in the web page which indexes your web reprints. Any minor corrections or errata which introduce
a difference between the original publication and the reprint should be noted.
- You could provide your own statement on copyright and permissions for use of your web reprints, or
you could rely upon the University's Disclaimer
and Copyright notice.
- Where possible, "mimic" the format of the original publication, as a courtesy to readers who may
be familiar with its format, eg levels of headings, placing of tables, etc. In some exceptional cases
it may be appropriate to preserve the pagination of the original publication, for example by using <HR> (horizontal
rule) or other indicators.
- Files which you have submitted for publication may have been changed by journal or conference proceedings
editors. Check carefully for differences between your word processor copy and the published version.
- Examples of TLC's work on web reprinting for journal and conference papers appear under:
Examples of the suggestions given above occur in many of TLC's "online reprints" of journal and conference
papers. Whilst these reflect the conventional formatting of the printed originals, it's important to
be aware that academic papers prepared specifically for web publishing may adopt quite different or
experimental formats, to obtain advantages from the special characteristics of this medium.
We are grateful to a number of professional societies for giving copyright permissions, and for their
adoption of a supportive attitude towards "reprints on the web".
