copyright guidelines
 

Hi Jack
as has been PMd and posted to you we have to adhere to strict copyright regulations here so would you please edit your posts in accordance with the guidelines I PMd you.

we cannot risk legal action from angry authors and/or publications so we will have to remove any posts that violate copyright

again

**PLEASE dont post whole articles, only snippets or abstracts and then a link for further reading. ENTIRE articles are NOT allowed



**always fully cite the author and publication

thanks

here are the copyright guidelines again

How about being specific as to my violations?

I am posting unaltered abstracts from the National Library of Medicine. You must know that this is Public info because you have their web site "PubMED" at the top of your main screen.

Please be specific. I have many of these FULL TEXT studies which I paid BIG $$$$$ to purchase in the past.

It is now the policy of the US Govt that this is not necessary because after 6 months of date published any study paid for in any way by the US Govt must be provided FREE.(minor processing fees may apply) I am not posting these FULL text articles here.

I just do not get what your restriction is..

Do you consider the PubMed abstracts to be FULL TEXT articles?

I have only posted one short Press Release from Penn State. I doubt there exists a valid link to this 2001 release. If I had access to the schools archives I could find a copy and I have been unable to find another source. I did look.

Please clarify your policy and my violations. I think the MS community would benefit if I can find out how to post this valuable info here.

I had hoped to keep this in PM but here it is again

do NOT post whole articles but only post snips or abstracts and then the URL link for further reading

please put snips and abstracts in the forum [QUOTE] tags so as to distinguish your writing from those of others
adding quote tags can be done fromj the icon directly above the box you are typing your reply from and looks like thishttp://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/im...itor/quote.gif


please fully cite authors and publications

if you dont have the required info, then dont post the article

and

as far as PubMed abstracts, yes you DO have to put the abstract in quote tags to distinguish it from other text as well as give the URL link to it

here is the copyright info posted there FYI
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/disclaimer.html

we have had angry letters from authors and publications when copyright is violated and so we have no choice but to request members adhere to this. Our other members dont have a problem complying so it would be appreciated if you would too

thanks
