Copyright Advisory on Collected or Selected Works

Authors maintaining collected or selected writings online with The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) do not require anyone's permission to include the citation, abstract, and, if the work is published somewhere on the Internet, its Internet address (URL). Where copyright permits, authors can also include the full text.
Authors usually retain copyright over working papers, in which case the author does not need permission to post the working paper to his or her collected or selected writings. Authors usually transfer copyright to publishers for published materials. Most publishers who hold copyright to a paper allow the author to reprint it in a volume of collected or selected works. Some publishers restrict or deny this right. Authors need to determine their rights case-by-case, usually by reading the copyright agreement or asking the publisher.
