Editorial and Copyright Policies

1. Editorial Policies

  • The publication is overseen by the AMOTLC Editors and Editorial Board.
  • Editorial decisions concerning the AMOTLC, including those of its content, format and distribution, are made by the AMOTLC editors and board.
  • The AMOTLC includes brief teaching articles, lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, bibliography lists, and other materials deemed relevant and appropriate.
  • Extended articles on teaching the works of Arthur Miller are welcome for submission to the Arthur Miller Journal.
  • All materials published on the AMOTLC indicate their type as well as their author.
  • All materials to be published are reviewed by the AMOTLC Board. Readers of the AMOTLC are encouraged to contact the Board with comments, corrections, and suggestions for improvements.
  • The views expressed by authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the AMOTLC or AMS.  Neither organization is responsible, legally or otherwise, for the content submitted by users.

2. Copyright Policies

  • The Contributor agrees to provide original material that they have prepared that is not subject to a copyright claim by any other publisher. The Contributor asserts that they are the sole owner of all rights to the material, and that the material has not previously been published in the form offered to the AMOTLC. Contributors should specify how the material has been altered for this submission, as well as the original identifying publication information, including publication name and date.
  • The Contributor gives to the AMOTLC the sole and exclusive right to publish the material.
  • Contributors may reuse parts of their material published first on the site after twelve months from its publication on the AMOTLC, providing that it was first published on this website and the date of publication.
  • Contributors can include their essays published on the AMOTLC in teaching compendia, course handbooks and other pedagogical resources they wish to use with their students (with due acknowledgement of first publication). The publisher’s pdf version can be used in such cases.
  • Contributors should be aware that once published on the AMOTLC, their materials may be used by the website users in their own teaching and learning.  The users, however, may not publish, or claim ownership or copyright of the materials.

3. Self-Archiving Details

  • The AMOTLC offers open access to its published material at this time.
  • Contributors have the right to deposit their work produced for the AMOTLC in a restricted-access institutional repository, with due acknowledgment, while the AMOTLC retains copyright. Contributors should refrain from posting the articles submitted to the AMOTLC elsewhere for a period of at least twelve months from the date of original publication. Contributors are encouraged to list their AMOTLC publication on their CVs and publication lists, and provide the link to the published version of their article.
  • Exception: Contributing authors can use the pdf version of their article(s) published on the AMOTLC freely in their teaching activities (see section on copyright above); this permission includes teaching platforms, such as Blackboard or Moodle.
  • After twelve months, contributors can post the accepted final version of the article (the version that has gone through editorial review and was accepted for publication on the AMOTLC, but not the version created by the Publisher, with its specific content and layout, i.e., the pdf version downloadable from the website) on their departmental or personal website, in their publicly accessible institutional repository, or on other professional websites, such as academia.edu. Publisher copyright and source must be acknowledged, and a link must be provided to the online published version.
