Community expectations of material submitted for publication
The principles below correspond to conditions widely respected in academic publishing although they are typically legalistic in format. We do not believe they are exceptional in any way. However, they form protection against extreme voices.
‘Researching Education’ accepts no liability in respect of any material submitted by users and published by us, and we are not responsible for its content and accuracy.
The views expressed in articles are the personal opinions of the experts named. They may not represent the views of ‘Researching Education’ or any other organisation, unless specifically stated.
Material may be submitted for publication under the following terms and conditions:
- Publication of submitted material will be at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to make additions or deletions to the text or graphics prior to publication, or to refuse publication. However, such editing will be conducted in collaboration with authors.
- You grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to publish and communicate to the public any material you submit to us in any format, including without limitation print and electronic format.
- You warrant that any material you submit is your own original work and that you own the copyright and any other relevant rights. If you would like to tell us about material that isn’t your copyright and which we may want to use, please tell us who owns it so we can ask permission to republish.
- You warrant that the material you submit is not obscene, offensive or otherwise illegal.
- You agree not to submit material that is deliberately intended to upset other users.
- You will take reasonable steps to ensure that any material you submit is not defamatory of any person. If you suspect that material may be defamatory (or if you are not sure), you must tell us at the time you submit the material to us.
You acknowledge that any breach of these conditions may cause us damage or loss. You agree to indemnify us in full and permanently against any third-party liabilities, claims, costs, loss or damage we incur as a result of your breach of conditions (2) to (6) above. You must act honestly and in good faith in your dealings with us and (if requested) you must provide us with reasonable assistance to settle, defend or investigate any third party claims arising as a result of our publication of material you submit to us.
