Copyright

When an article is published, Antiquity asks all authors to assign copyright to Antiquity Publications Ltd.

There are advantages for contributors in ownership of the copyright being centralised in Antiquity Publications Ltd. It enables the copyright-holder to watch for infringement. It will ensure that requests by third parties to reprint an article, or part of it, are handled efficiently and consistently. It will allow the publication to benefit from co-operative licensing schemes, e.g. the Copyright Clearance Center scheme in the USA (see below), without impeding the dissemination of knowledge.

In assigning copyright in this way, contributors are not forfeiting their right to use their contribution elsewhere. It remains your work, and you are always free to re-use or reprint it in whatever way you like and as you wish. When you do that, we ask you to acknowledge Antiquity as the place of first publication.

Antiquity Publications Ltd. will normally give a third party permission to reprint the contribution in whole or in part if the third party obtains permission from you also. If you refuse, we refuse. If payment is made, we ask that the income is divided equally between the contributor and Antiquity Publications Ltd., in recognition of the roles of the contributor and of Antiquity in publishing the material.

When copyright is held by the contributor's employer, Antiquity Publications Ltd. needs non-exclusive permission to deal with request from third parties, on the understanding that the contributor's wishes will be followed, as described above.

Antiquity is registered with the Copyright Clearance Center (USA) and the Copyright Licensing Authority (UK), non-profit-making organisations which offer centralised licensing arrangements for photocopying. Other similar licensing schemes may be entered into.

Antiquity Publications Ltd. may make arrangements with others to deal with some aspects of copyright and licensing.
