Coypright Law and Contracts
When publishing in the Research Information System (=FIS) of the University of Bamberg, you must observe copyright law. As soon as you not only want to enter bibliographic data in the FIS, but also publish full texts, you will therefore be asked to select a licence and a contract.
For a second publication (e.g. if you have already published with a publisher and would now like to additionally publish your publication in the Research Information System), please note your publishing contract: you can only issue a licence that is compatible with this contract. If possible, take this into account when deciding where you would like to publish! Common regulations of publishers for secondary publications can be found in the research tool Open policy finder.
Granting of rights of use / Publication Contract
The grantings of rights of use / The publication contract regulate the legal relationship between you as the author and the Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg, acting on its behalf the University Library Bamberg as the publisher. Your document may only be published (i.e. activated in the FIS) after the signed form has been received by the University Library. If you only want to enter a title for the university bibliography (without full text), no form is necessary.
