Opzet en doelstelling

DARLIN Journal is een elektronisch tijdschrift. In DARLIN Journal komen artikelen en boekbesprekingen op het gebied van bibliotheek en informatiewetenschap te staan, die nog niet eerder zijn gepubliceerd.

De doelgroep wordt gevormd door het gehele veld van bibliotheek- en informatiewetenschap inclusief de archiefwereld. Artikelen komen uit het Nederlandse of Vlaamse taal- en cultuurgebied. Artikelen kunnen ook Engelstalig zijn.

Het auteursrecht van de bijdragen blijft bij de auteur. Materiaal dat voor het eerst via DARLIN Journal wordt gepubliceerd kan daarna door andere media worden gepubliceerd, mits de auteur daar toestemming voor geeft.

After it has appeared in DARLIN Journal authors may republish their text in any way they wish (electronic or print) as long as they clearly acknowledge DARLIN Journal as its original publisher with the correct citation details and copyright notice, independent of whether the article is used in whole or in part.

Readers are permitted to make copies, electronic or printed, for noncommercial use, particularly personal or classroom use”.

3. DARLIN Journal may change both the layout and technical form of the article from that in which it is offered to ensure consistency and readability. Under no circumstance the content of the article will be altered.

4. The author warrants to DARLIN Journal that the article is original, does not infringe any existing copyright, and does not infringe any other rights of any third party. This warrant concerns the entire manuscript, text as well as pictures, sound, video, data sets, etc. The author also warrants to DARLIN Journal that he/she has full authority to enter into this agreement and that the rights he/she is granting to DARLIN Journal are granted without breaching any obligations he/she may have.

However, DARLIN Journal does accept some papers that have been published as abstracts or have been partially reported by the media at scientific meetings, and some that have already appeared in foreign language journals. Previous publication in electronic form, known as preprint or eprint, may also be acceptable. In all these cases authors must inform DARLIN Journal of previous publication and supply DARLIN Journal with copies of such previous versions. DARLIN Journal will then decide whether publication in DARLIN Journal will add usefully to the literature or whether it will just add redundant material. Publication is considered redundant if the article overlaps by more than 10% with previously published work, or work submitted elsewhere, as decided by DARLIN Journal.
