What licensing concerns are there for using content from Stack Exchange in an academic paper? Another possibility is to segregate lengthy quotations in another file. If you only need to quote small amounts, you can probably do that under fair use. If you need lengthy quotations or other data sets, you could have an auxiliary file (with the CC BY-SA license) that presents the data you need, and then you could refer readers to that file in your paper. This would give you a stable, archivable file that highlights what you need, without letting the license affect the rest of your paper. |

Do you spell out Thm., Prop., Eq., Ch. in mathematical papers? It's true that you can't necessarily control how the journal will copyedit things, but at least for math journals there's never any need to adopt their house style before acceptance (and even after acceptance you can just let the copyeditors change it). |

Do you spell out Thm., Prop., Eq., Ch. in mathematical papers? I agree. For example, I wouldn't write "E.g., I wouldn't write...". By expanding "e.g.", I meant as "exempli gratia", not "for example". I'll edit to clarify. |

Releasing one version of a Scientific Paper under an Open License There's a huge difference between rejecting submissions because they are available on the web (which I believe is rare in most fields) and objecting to a CC BY license (which I believe is common). Releasing a paper under such a license before submission may substantially restrict how it can be published. That's not necessarily a problem - if you care enough about the ultimate form of open access, then you have no choice. However, there's a genuine trade-off here. For example, Elsevier allows preprints, but their published policies certainly do not allow CC BY, and they are far from alone. |

Penalties for disclosing student grades without consent It's not clear what you're getting at. Is this a theoretical question about what could happen (but won't), or a practical question? For example, in the U.S. it is illegal to share university grades with anyone else (the law is called "FERPA"). I have no idea whether the theoretical penalties could include jail, but it's inconceivable that anyone would actually be jailed for sharing grades with a student's parents. |

Reproducible research and corporate identity Regarding the logo the university might agree to CC BY because it forbids reusing anything "in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work". One could argue that a logo automatically implies endorsement and therefore cannot be reused even if taken from a CC BY licensed work, in which case including it in such a work shouldn't be a problem. However, I'm sure the university would want to discuss this with their lawyers before deciding that clause made it safe. In any case, you are right that because you don't hold the copyright, you need their explicit permission. |

Reproducible research and corporate identity Maybe you could specify "everything except the logo and fonts is released under a CC BY license"? Strictly speaking, that would be fairly restrictive, since it would not give people permission to redistribute the file as is. However, it would at least make it clear what is available for reuse if that's the aspect you are worried about. I imagine your university would even agree to a more elaborate license (saying the whole file is distributable without modifications under CC BY-ND and everything but the logo and fonts can be reused under CC BY), which might be the closest to what you want. |

What are the reasons for Journals to reject any manuscript that has already been deposited into a Preprint server? It's speculation on my part. |

What are the reasons for Journals to reject any manuscript that has already been deposited into a Preprint server? I think the Information Theory Society is far more arXiv-friendly than the rest of the IEEE, but financially the IEEE is much more like the AMS than the ACS if normalized for membership size. For example, publication and online services revenue per member: $421 million/163000 = $2600/member for ACS, $132 million/425000 = $310/member for IEEE, and $15.5 million/30000 = $520/member for AMS. I certainly don't think the finances determine everything, and it's not clear how to interpret them anyway (total size, normalized per member, etc.), but I think it's unlikely to be a total coincidence. |
