John Benjamins Copyright Policy
It is the policy of John Benjamins Publishing Company to acquire the copyright to all
contributions in its books and journals. Ownership of copyright by one central organization ensures
maximum protection against infringement; it also ensures that requests by third parties to reprint a
contribution, or part of it, are handled efficiently and in accordance with a general policy which is
sensitive both to international copyright legislation and to encouraging the dissemination of
knowledge.

The author of an article retains the following rights:

      The right to be identified as the Author of the article whenever and wherever the article is
      published.
      All proprietary rights other than copyright.
      The right to make copies of all or part of the article for use by the author him/herself in teaching,
      provided that these copies are not offered for sale.
      The right to make copies of (parts of) the article for circulation within the institution that
      employs the author.
      The right to make and distribute copies of the article to individual research colleagues, for their
      own personal use. This may not be done commercially or through mass distribution channels
      such as, e.g., list serves or e-mail lists.

      The right to post the ‘author submitted manuscript’ of the article (i.e., the author’s version before
      the peer review process) on the author's personal website, the website/institutional repository of
      the author's institute and/or funder, and on electronic pre-print servers, including subject-based
      repositories and services such as Academia.edu, ResearchGate and Mendeley, provided that
      these services do not charge any fees for access. This pre-print should be accompanied by a
      statement

         1. that the article has been submitted but not yet accepted for publication in a book or
             journal,
         2. or, that it has been accepted for publication in a book or journal, that it is under copyright,
             and that the publisher should be contacted for permission to re-use the material in any
             form.

      The right to post the ‘author accepted manuscript’ (i.e., a version reflecting any changes made in
      the peer review process, but not the publisher’s PDF, proofs or offprint) on the author's
      personal website, the website/institutional repository of the author's institute and/or funder,
      and on electronic pre-print servers, including subject-based repositories and services such as
      Academia.edu, ResearchGate and Mendeley, provided that these services do not charge any fees
      for access. In all these cases the article should include
            a citation of the published article and a link (preferably DOI) to the journal or volume on
            the publisher's website,
            and a notice that it is under copyright and that the publisher should be contacted for
            permission to re-use or reprint the material in any form.
      The right to present the article at a meeting or conference and to distribute copies of the article
      to the delegates attending the meeting.
      The right to re-use portions or excerpts in other works by the author her/himself.
      The right to use all or part of the published material in any monograph by the author, provided
      that prior written permission is obtained from John Benjamins Publishing Company, a citation
      to the published article is included, and a notice is added that the publisher should be contacted
      for permission to re-use or reprint the material in any form.
