cIRcle Non-Exclusive Distribution License

When you submit material to cIRcle you will be asked to agree to a Non-Exclusive Distribution License that permits cIRcle to:

make your work openly accessible, and
copy your work to other formats for preservation purposes

and that states that

you have the right and authority to grant the license and have obtained copyright clearance for any materials included in your work for which you do not own the copyright (for example, images, tables, etc.).

You do not sign over copyright to cIRcle; rather, you merely grant cIRcle a non-exclusive license to distribute your work online.

Before materials can be deposited in cIRcle, we require copies of the appropriate license(s). Please fill out a license for new items (articles, reports, presentations, research papers, etc) that you wish to submit. You may list more than one item per license.
