Article permissions

Starting from February 2023, Brill changed its policy for journal concerning the copyright statement of articles. For all articles the copyright remains with the author(s), and the author(s) provided Brill with a license to publish it in its journal. In case of Open Access, an additional license is applicable, defining the terms and conditions for re-use of the content. Hereafter the consequences for the XML and PDF are described for the two situations:

an article licensed to Brill only
an article published in Open Access

An article licensed to Brill

PDF

In the PDF a two line footer is included at the first page of an article, typeset according to the instructions in the BTS;

line 1: Published with license by Koninklijke Brill NV | DOI: <DOI information>
line 2: © <name of the author(s)>, <copyright year> | ISSN: <print ISSN> (print) <online ISSN> (online)

The name of the authors and the copyright year as above in the XML. Use two EM-spaces before and after the |-character. Since the PDF version of most articles circulate as separate articles, not in an issue, the ISSN information is added. Thus the first page footer contains all relevant information.

Example:

An article published in Open Access

If an article is published in Open Access, The license type and license text in the XML is adjusted and reflect the corresponding license information. In the PDF a third line is added to the first-page footer with the Open Access information. The other elements in the XML and the first two lines in the PDF remain unchanged.

For Open Access, Brill supports CC BY, CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-ND licenses (version 4.0).
