Copyright Declaration
Please note that copyright declarations need to be signed by hand on real paper and posted to us.
We regret that neither emails nor digitised documents are
sufficient.
Purposes
-
To allow contributing authors to retain maximum control of future publication of their own work and its derivatives, while maintaining as many documents as possible in a permanent Education-line collection.
-
To assure ourselves that no existing rights to the document or to elements contained in the document are infringed through publication of the document or its elements in Education-line.
To support these purposes, Education-line asks authors of papers presented to Education-line to sign and submit a simple declaration. Inclusion of the document in Education-line will be conditional on receipt of the physical signed document in the Education-line office. The postal address is given below, but also appears on the declaration form that can be downloaded from this site.
Formats and Versions
With a choice of four formats, three versions of the declaration are available to download:
for single authored papers for papers with one principal author among several for papers with joint authors

Wording

In submitting the document to Education-line for indexing, for electronic storage and for public access through Education-line I warrant that:
It is my own original work, and does not include any material that infringes any third party's rights, such as copyright;
I indemnify you against any of the costs of any legal action that may arise through the alleged infringement of any third party's rights;
I have the authority to give permission for its electronic publication in Education-line;
This permission does not preclude my publishing, or offering it for publication in other media or locations.
