Discipline Global Mobile

Copyright agreements are featured in a DYK nomination for Discipline Global Mobile, which needs a review.

If you respond to this prompting, please not that in any review. Thanks! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 16:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is oddly focused on academic journals

The literal title of this article, "Copyright transfer agreement", means this article ought to be about agreements that transfer copyrights, which is fine; but the article has an almost-total focus on academic journals. Copyright transfer agreements are common in all creative fields, for publishers of books, movies, music, video games, websites; and for authors of any of these who utilize subcontractors. I'll try putting all this material within an "Academic journals" section for clarity, for now. On Sober Reflection (talk) 11:34, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Content moved over from Open access

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Open access was copied or moved into Citation index with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

I've moved over a couple of sections from the open access page, witten by nemo bis since I think it fits here better in a #criticism section here than it did at its previous location (discussion). It probably still needs a bit of editing for tone and consistency with the rest of the page. It is also quite focused on academic journals (re:section above), so may need re-balancing.
