This apply to all agreements:

  • The Corresponding Author must be affiliated with NTNU. In many agreements, authors from St. Olav hospital - Trondheim University Hospital are also included. The person sending the article to the publisher is defined as the Corresponding Author. If you are the only author, you will automatically be defined as Corresponding Author.
  • State/choose NTNU as your institution if you sign a publishing agreement. These agreements may be referred to as ‘License Agreement’, ‘publishing contract’. To avoid doubt about your affiliation, please give and use your ntnu.no email in your correspondence with the publisher. If asked, choose Open Access.
  • Make sure you do not sign an author agreement where you renounce the rights to the article.
  • If you have a choice of licence NTNU is recommending the Creative Commons CC BY. This gives the best possibility for the article’s future sharing, outreach and reuse. You will retain copyright. Read more about the licences that are accepted by the Research Council of Norway.
