Legal aspects
By submitting the full-text publication to the publication server, the authors grant the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University and District Library a simple (non-exclusive) right of use. With this grant, the library receives the right to store the transmitted documents electronically and to make them publicly accessible in data networks. The right of authors to publish their documents elsewhere remains unaffected.
The library shares all collected metadata with other libraries, databases, and search engines to increase visibility and discoverability of publications.
The Library submits the full-text publications to the German National Library and, if applicable, to special collections libraries. This fulfills the German law on deposit copies and ensures additional long-term archiving of the documents.
If none of the available Creative Commons Licenses is selected by the authors, German copyright law applies.
Please print and sign the completed consent form and return it to the library.
