STM PERMISSIONS GUIDELINES AND SIGNATORIES

Since their introduction in the 1980's (with major revisions in 1998, 2003 and 2008), the STM Permissions Guidelines on the re-use of limited amounts of material from published works have helped STM member companies (list below) faciliate the publishing process in many cases where delays and costs would have otherwise been incurred.

STM PERMISSIONS GUIDELINES
October 2008
These Guidelines are an updated version of the original 2003 STM Permissions Guidelines. They concern the granting of permission by one signatory STM publisher to another signatory STM publisher to re-use limited amounts of material from published works in subsequent publications (print and/or electronic). STM publishers who are participating in this programme and adhereing to these Guidelines are listed at the end of the Guidelines (with any restrictions noted on that list). The Guidelines set out general principles for working practice based on custom and practice, common decency and fairness. Adherence to the Guidelines is purely voluntary and it is not intended that they should in any way affect the ability of STM publishers to make commercial judgements about the re-use of their material. These Guidelines are to be used by signatory publishers in the process of clearing permissions for an individual article, not as a substitute for licensing arrangements or multi-article permissions.
