Parallel submission

It is unethical to submit the same, or essentially the same, article to a second primary research journal whilst it remains under active consideration by another.

It is the corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure the paper is not under consideration by any other journal at the time of submission.

Gender identity on ScholarOne: Why do we want this information?

We are committed to inclusivity within peer review and as such we periodically measure and report on the demographic profile of our author and reviewer groups. So that we can identify potential inequality and equity of opportunity, we are asking authors and reviewers to tell us more about themselves. You can choose not to tell us by selecting “Prefer not to say”, in which case your response will not be included in any reports we prepare. Data collected will only be reported at an aggregate level. We appreciate the terms used to describe gender identity can be problematic, and we have tried to be sensitive in our choice of language. We welcome feedback from the community on this and all our other initiatives to relating to inclusivity, so please do contact us with your comments.

Personal data regarding gender is not considered in any way when considering manuscripts for publication.  For more information on how we use your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy

1         ECS and IOP grant the Named Authors the rights specified in paragraphs 2 and 4 which must be exercised solely for non- commercial purposes. ECS and IOP also grant the Named Authors the right contained in paragraph 5, which is the right to reuse their original figures in subsequent publications. Where possible, any use in accordance with the rights specified in paragraphs 2, 4 and 5 must display citation information and ECS’ copyright notice, and, for electronic use, best efforts must be made to include a link to the online abstract in the journal.

Exercise of the rights in this paragraph 2 may use the peer reviewed, edited, formatted and typeset version of the Article including any tagging, indexing and other enhancements published by ECS and IOP (“Final Published Version”).

2        The rights are to:

  • make copies of the Final Published Version (all or part) for teaching purposes;
  • include the Final Published Version (all or part) in a research thesis or dissertation provided it is not then published commercially; and
  • make oral presentation of the Final Published Version (all or part) and include a summary and/or highlights of it in papers distributed at such presentations or in conference proceedings.

The Named Authors retain all proprietary rights in the Article other than copyright.

3        Exercise of the rights referred to in paragraph 4 must not use the Final Published Version and extend only to the version of the Article accepted for publication including all changes made as a result of the peer review process, and which may also include the addition to the article by IOP of a header, an article ID, a cover sheet and/or an ‘Accepted Manuscript’ watermark, but excluding any other editing, typesetting or other changes made by ECS and IOP (the “Accepted Manuscript”) and must be accompanied by the following statement of provenance:

‘This is the Accepted Manuscript version of an article accepted for publication in [NAME OF JOURNAL].  The Electrochemical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd are not responsible for any errors or omissions in this version of the manuscript or any version derived from it.  The Version of Record is available online at [insert DOI].

4        Additional rights of the Named Authors are to:

4.1     Use the Accepted Manuscript (all or part) without modification in personal compilations of the Named Authors’ own works (provided not created by a third party publisher); and

When reusing content in this way, the Named Authors must display adequate citation information and ECS’s copyright notice. This information is necessary in order to show where any reuse requests should be directed and to avoid any suggestion of self-plagiarism.

Which rights to publish option should I choose?

the basis upon which you are granting the right to publish the copyright in the Article (section C):

where the Article is published on a subscription basis, a standard transfer of copyright will apply (please select this box unless one of the other scenarios below applies), or

where the Article is published on a Gold Open Access basis, a licence to publish will be granted to IOP; or

under Crown copyright – the Article is fully protected by Crown copyright under section 163 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 or any subsequent amendment to that Act, or

under the laws relating to the US Government, or

Other – this should only be selected if you cannot agree to the terms of the agreement.  By selecting this, we will still require you to either re-sign the agreement or another agreement before we can accept the Article.

The Submitting Author should also sign and date the bottom of the agreement.

If you still need help, please email permissions@ioppublishing.org.

I am affiliated to a university/institution, do I need an open access policy waiver from my institution or university’s open access policy?

All Named Authors who are affiliated to a university/institution, and who are publishing an Article on a subscription basis (i.e. not on a gold open access basis), must each obtain an open access policy waiver for the Article from their institution or university’s open access policy if it is incompatible with IOP green open access policy.  Institutions/universities allow for such waivers in their policies.  Each Named Author affiliated to a university/institution is responsible for checking whether their university or institution’s open access policy is incompatible with IOP green open access policy.

US government copyright policy

If all the Named Authors are employees of the US Government:

  • they, and the authorised signatory of the US Government (“US Government Signatory”) represent and warrant to IOP and its licensors that the submitted article (the “Article”) was prepared as part of their official duties. In such circumstances, none of the original content within the Article is subject to copyright protection within the USA as it is in the public domain within the USA.  However, in signing the copyright form, the US Government Signatory grants IOP and its licensors a non-exclusive royalty-free worldwide freely-transferrable perpetual licence for the full term of copyright (including any extensions or renewals) for all media and formats, whether known or unknown, to do in relation to the Article (which expression includes but is not limited to the text, abstract, tables, figures and graphs, related corrigenda or “comments” and multimedia content but excludes any other item referred to as supplementary material and/or any video abstract) all acts restricted by copyright worldwide including the right of action, to the extent that such rights exist outside of the USA.

If one or more of the Named Authors are employees of the US Government (“US Government Authors”) and one or more of them are not employees of the US Government:

  • the US Government Authors and the US Government Signatory represent and warrant to IOP and its licensors that their contributions to the Article were prepared as part of their official duties. In such circumstances, none of the original content in the US Government Authors’ contribution is subject to copyright protection within the USA as it is in the public domain. However, the original content in the other remaining Named Authors’ contributions is subject to copyright protection. In signing the copyright form, the US Government Signatory grants IOP and its licensors a non-exclusive royalty-free worldwide freely-transferrable perpetual licence for the full term of copyright (including any extensions or renewals) for all media and formats, whether known or unknown, to do in relation to the Article (which expression includes but is not limited to the text, abstract, tables, figures and graphs, related corrigenda or “comments” and multimedia content but excludes any other item referred to as supplementary material and/or any video abstract) all acts restricted by copyright worldwide including the right of action, to the extent that such rights exist outside of the USA; and
  • one of the Named Authors who is not a US Government Author grants IOP and its licensors a non-exclusive royalty-free worldwide freely-transferrable perpetual licence for the full term of copyright (including any extensions or renewals) for all media and formats, whether known or unknown, to do in relation to the Article (which expression includes but is not limited to the text, abstract, tables, figures and graphs, related corrigenda or “comments” and multimedia content but excludes any other item referred to as supplementary material and/or any video abstract) all acts restricted by copyright worldwide including the right of action, to the extent that such rights exist outside of the USA.

In addition, the US Government Signatory on behalf of the US Government grants IOP and its licensors a royalty-free non-exclusive freely transferrable licence for the full term of copyright (including any extensions or renewals thereof) to the extent that such rights exist outside of the USA to do in relation to any supplementary material not deemed to be part of the Article and/or any video abstract all acts restricted by copyright worldwide.  This shall include, but not be limited to, making the material available under any licence that IOP and its licensors deem appropriate for purposes including the maximisation of visibility and the long term preservation of the content.
