If you`re planning to contribute to CRC Press, you may need to familiarize yourself with the CRC Press Contributor Agreement. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions that you, as a contributor, must abide by in order to have your work published by CRC Press.
The agreement covers a variety of important topics, including copyright ownership, warranties, and royalties. Perhaps most importantly, it protects the interests of both parties by clearly outlining each party`s rights and responsibilities.
One of the most important aspects of the agreement is the issue of copyright ownership. When you contribute content to CRC Press, you retain ownership of the copyright, but you grant CRC Press an exclusive license to publish and distribute your work. This means that you cannot publish or distribute the same material elsewhere without CRC Press`s permission.
The agreement also includes warranties that you must provide regarding the originality and accuracy of your work. Specifically, you must warrant that your work is original and that it does not infringe upon the rights of any third party. Additionally, you must warrant that your work is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.
Finally, the agreement outlines the royalty structure that you can expect if your work is published by CRC Press. The royalty rate is based on a percentage of the net sales of your work, and the rate varies depending on the format of the work (e.g., print vs. electronic).
Overall, the CRC Press Contributor Agreement is an important document that every contributor should review carefully before submitting any work. By doing so, you can ensure that you understand your rights and responsibilities and that you can make informed decisions about publishing your work with CRC Press.
