Digital Space @ Xavier: Rights & Responsibilities

The purpose of Digital Space @ Xavier is to provide open access to Xavier University scholarly, pedagogical and historical materials to researchers and other readers throughout the world, via the Web. By default, materials deposited into Digital Space @ Xavier are open access, which means anyone on the web can access them. However, Digital Space @ Xavier materials are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved by you, the copyright holder.

Before we can deposit your work in Digital Space @ Xavier we need your permission. We have created an online Submission Permission Form and License that must be completed and submitted. If the work has multiple authors, each author must complete the form and agree to the license.

By submitting the Submission Permission Form and License you, the author/copyright owner, grant to Xavier University the non-exclusive right to reproduce, translate (as defined below), and/or distribute your submission (including the abstract) worldwide in print and electronic format and in any medium, including but not limited to audio or video.

• You agree that Xavier University may, without changing the content, translate the submission to any medium or format for the purpose of preservation.
• You also agree that Xavier University may keep more than one copy of this submission for purposes of security, back-up and preservation.
• You represent that the submission is your original work, and that you have the right to grant the rights contained in this license. You also represent that your submission does not, to the best of your knowledge, infringe upon anyone's copyright.
• You grant Xavier University permission to make the items accessible worldwide on the Web.

If the submission contains material for which you do not hold copyright, you represent that you have obtained the unrestricted permission of the copyright owner to grant Xavier University the rights required by this license, and that such third-party owned material is clearly identified and acknowledged within the text or content of the submission.

You represent that the submission is your original work, and that you have the right to grant the rights contained in this license. You also represent that your submission does not, to the best of your knowledge, infringe upon anyone's copyright. Co-authors who wish to submit materials to Digital Space @ Xavier must have permission from other copyright holders to do so.

If the submission is based upon work that has been sponsored or supported by an agency or organization other than Xavier University, you represent that you have fulfilled any right of review or other obligations required by such contract or agreement.

As an alternative to reserving all rights, authors are encouraged to consider licensing their works with a Creative Commons License, under which they can preserve those rights that are most important to them (e.g., proper attribution) and at the same time explicitly grant to readers certain other rights chosen by the author to be used at the readers discretion (e.g., copy, distribute, display, or perform the work.) Materials in Digital Space @ Xavier that are licensed under Creative Commons licenses will display the license conditions.
