Copyright Licence for Journals

In specialised industries – where being able to copy and share Scientific, Technical and Medical articles is vital to staying informed – ad-hoc content needs can arise.

Journal articles are copyright-protected. If your employees want to reuse a full article, part of an article or specific content such as figures, tables or graphs, they will need permission from the copyright owner to do so.

And when an article doesn’t fall under your existing copyright licensing arrangements, specific rights have to be cleared.

Content rights you need, when you need them

The Copyright Agency’s RightsPortal Journals online licensing platform makes it simple for you to reuse the specific pieces of content you need, when you need them. It unlocks Pay-Per-Use rights for more than 20 million scientific, technical and medical journal articles worldwide.

A Journals Pay-Per-Use Copyright Licence enables you to use journal content in a range of ways including:

  • Sharing journal content
  • Photocopying journal content
  • Using content in presentations and training materials.*

As we pay royalties to the creators whose works you reuse, you’ll foster the creation of new content which will benefit your organisation in the future.

3 easy steps to journal articles rights

  1. After identifying the journal article your organisation wants to re-use, visit the RightsPortal Journals section of the RightsPortal platform: www.rightsportal.com.au
  2. Once you provide this information, we will let you know if the use is permitted and provide you with a licensing fee
  3. Go through the online checkout process to pay for the licence.

“In STM publishing, the APAC region is a force to reckon these days. We see an increase in APAC scientists who publish with us, and we see an increasing demand to consume high-quality STM content. At the same time, we see a growing interest in being copyright compliant. It’s Elsevier’s responsibility to provide easy ways to clear rights and to act in a copyright compliant way. To do that, we needed a trustworthy partner with a strong presence in the region. That partner is the Copyright Agency.”Rogier van Erkel,
