GUIDELINES FOR JOURNAL AUTHORS' RIGHTS

The University of Chicago Press and the journal American Art both support and encourage our authors’ efforts to promote and disseminate their own works. The following responses answer the questions we hear most often from our authors about their rights to reuse their articles. Authors publishing in American Art should refer to the contributors’ agreement they signed with the journal for more detail.

Can I republish the text of my article in another print publication?

You may republish the text of your article, in whole or in part, in any book, article, or other scholarly work of which you are an author or an editor, provided that you give credit to the journal.

Can I use my article for teaching purposes in my classes?

You may use your article for teaching purposes in your classes, including making multiple copies for each student, either individually or as part of a printed course pack, provided such course pack will be used solely for classes you teach and provided that such classes are academic and non-commercial in nature.

Can I provide copies of my article in print or electronic form to my colleagues?

You may provide single copies of your article in either print or electronic form to your colleagues for the purposes of scholarly exchange. Copies may not be provided for compensation, for the purposes of republication or preparing derivative works, or as part of the systematic provision of copyrighted material to a third party.

Can another author republish the text of my article or a portion thereof without permission?

Small portions of the text of your article may be reprinted without permission from the Press, provided such use falls within the Press’s guidelines for fair use of copyrighted material (available in PDF format). For all other uses, the author and/or publisher must seek permission from the Press.

What about copyrighted photos and other material in my article?

If you required permission to include copyrighted material, you must check the permission grant issued by the copyright holder to see what restrictions apply to your further reuse of the content. It is especially critical to check the permission grants for fine art, video, and audio material, as the use of such material is often restricted to its onetime publication in the journal, and further use of the content, particularly its posting on a freely accessible web site, may not be permitted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.
