Australian Academic Press
Online Journal Usage Licence

Subscribing libraries are advised to include a link back to this page from
within their own library portal as an acknowledgement of this licence.

Introduction
Australian Academic Press is dedicated to promoting scientific research through sustainable innovative journal publishing practices that support the vital activities of libraries and researchers.
Therefore, we do not seek to obtain complex signed restrictive digital site licences.

Australian Academic Press Online Journals are provided to paying subscribers under the general licence as detailed below. This licence becomes effective upon activation of online access via paid subscription and remains in effect while the Subscriber maintains a current paid subscription to the Licensed Materials.


Definitions

Licensed Materials
Any Australian Academic Press published periodical to which an institution has a fully paid subscription, either as an individual title or as part of a bundle or other package deal.

Authorised Users Those persons authorised by the Subscriber to have access to the Licensed Materials. Authorised Users must be bona fide faculty members, students, researchers, staff members, clinical and adjunct title holders, alumni, librarians, executives, or employees of the Subscriber, or contractors engaged by the Subscriber, provided such contractors have been informed of, and agree to abide by, the Terms and Conditions of Use set forth herein and they access the Licensed Materials via the Subscriber ’s secure network from within the Library Premises or from such other places where Authorised Users work or study (including but not limited to Authorised Users’ offices and homes, halls of residence and student dormitories). Walk-in Users from the general public or business invitees may also be permitted by the Subscriber to access the Licensed Materials from designated terminals with a Subscriber-controlled IP address. These designated terminals shall be physically located in libraries or similar physical premises directly controlled by the Subscriber.

Commercial Use Use for the purposes of monetary reward (whether by or for the Consortium or a Member or an Authorised User) by means of sale, resale, loan, transfer, hire or other form of exploitation of the Licensed Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, neither recovery of direct costs by the Consortium or any Member from Authorised Users, nor use by the Consortium or a Member or by an Authorised User of the Licensed Materials in the course of research funded by a commercial organisation, is deemed to be Commercial Use.

Course Packs A collection or compilation of materials (e.g. journal articles) assembled by members of staff of a Member for use by Authorised Users in a class for the purposes of instruction and distributed or stored in either print or secure electronic formats free of charge or at a direct cost-based fee.

Sites Multiple campuses wholly owned by the institution represented by the Subscriber to a maximum number of five (5) different physical addresses that do not share a common property boundary.

1. Grant of Rights
Australian Academic Press (the Publisher) and the identified Author/s of content published within the Publisher’s journals grant to the Subscriber and its Authorised Users online access at its Sites to all
Licensed Materials offered by the Publisher to which the Subscriber holds a valid current subscription. This grant extends only to the Subscriber and to Authorised Users and may not be transferred or extended to others.

The Subscriber will exercise reasonable vigilance and shall be responsible for all access control and security measures necessary to ensure that the Subscribers’ IP addresses are not used to access the Licensed Materials by anyone other than Authorised Users.

2. Permitted Use
Authorised users may, in accordance with the copyright laws of Australia:

  1. Make such temporary local electronic copies by means of caching or mirrored storage of all or part of the Licensed Materials as are necessary solely to ensure efficient use by Members and by Authorised Users and not to make available to Authorised Users duplicate copies of the Licensed Material.
  2. Allow Authorised Users to have access to the Licensed Materials from the Server via the Secure Network.
  3. Provide Authorised Users with integrated access and an integrated author, article title, and keyword index to the Licensed Material and all other similar material licensed from other publishers.
  4. Provide single printed or electronic copies of single articles at the request of individual Authorised Users.
  5. Display, download or print the Licensed Materials for the purpose of internal marketing or testing or for training Authorised Users or groups of Authorised Users.
  6. Search, view, retrieve and display the Licensed Materials.
  7. Electronically save individual articles or items of the Licensed Materials for personal use.
  8. Print off a copy of parts of the Licensed Materials.
  9. Distribute a copy of individual articles or items of the Licensed Materials in print or electronic form to other Authorised Users.

Authorised Users may NOT without explicit written permission of the Publisher:

  1. Remove or alter the authors’ names or the Publisher’s copyright notices or other means of identification or disclaimers as they appear in the Licensed Materials;
  2. Systematically make print or electronic copies of multiple extracts of the Licensed Materials for any purpose other than back-up copies;
  3. Mount or distribute any part of the Licensed Material on any electronic network, including without limitation the Internet and the World Wide Web, other than the Secure Network.
  4. Use all or any part of the Licensed Materials for any Commercial Use;
  5. Systematically distribute the whole or any part of the Licensed Materials to anyone other than Authorised Users;
  6. Publish, distribute or make available the Licensed Materials, works based on the Licensed Materials or works which combine them with any other material, other than as permitted in this Licence;
  7. Alter, abridge, adapt or modify the Licensed Materials, except to the extent necessary to make them perceptible on a computer screen to Authorised Users. For the avoidance of doubt, no alteration of the words or their order is permitted.

3. Course Packs & Electronic Reserve
Authorised Users may, subject to clause 2 above, incorporate parts of the Licensed Materials in printed Course Packs and Electronic Reserve collections for the use of Authorised Users in the course of instruction at the Subscriber ’s institution. Each such item shall carry appropriate acknowledgement of the source, listing title and author of the extract, title and author of the work, and the publisher. Copies of such items shall be deleted by the Subscriber when they are no longer used for such purpose. Course packs in non-electronic non-print perceptible form, such as audio or Braille, may also be offered to Authorised Users who, in the reasonable opinion of the Subscriber, are visually impaired.

4. Interlibrary Loans
Authorised Users are permitted to fill an interlibrary article loan request via electronic means (including the use of, but not limited to, email, ariel, or ftp) or in print via post or fax to a requester under the Authorised User's interlibrary loan procedures, so long as the requesting institution is a noncommercial library located in the same country as the Authorised User .

5. Perpetual Access
On termination of this Licence, the Publisher shall provide continuing access for Authorised Users to that part of the Licensed Materials which was paid for to the best of its ability. If the Publisher no longer retains the rights to certain content (for example, if a journal title moves to another publisher), or if a third party's server is no longer able to host certain content, reasonable efforts will be made to negotiate continued access to this content via another means.

6. Author Self-Archiving
Australian Academic Press adheres to the Open Access (OA) “Green Standard” for author self-archiving which allows journal authors who have published in an Australian Academic Press journal to post the peer-reviewed version of their article prior to typesetting on an online archive, repository, or website.

7. Copyright
Copyright in the original words making up all articles in the
Licensed Materials rests with the identified Author/s. A limited set of permanent copyright permission licences has been granted by the Author/s to the Publisher to allow publication of the Licensed Materials. Rights in the reproduction and distribution of the published articles in the Licensed Materials as visual facsimiles of the published edition by mechanical or digital means ( "Reprographic Rights") is controlled by the Publisher. All other rights in the words contained in the published edition are controlled by the Author/s.

The Licensed Materials and their content remain subject to all applicable copyright, database protection and other rights under the laws of Australia and other countries.
