From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 01:53:37 +0000 Dear Sally. Revenue sharing with authors of articles published in scholarly journals. That's the part they leave out of copyright transfers for most authors of academic journal articles and chapters in scholarly monographs . CCC for that stuff is just a little lagniappe for academic journal and book publishers. Catnip so to speak.

In the USA, I believe, journal photocopying income goes to the publishers who are required to distribute it to authors according to contract.

ALCS represents two author groups and the PLS three publisher representative organisations. I belong to the ALCS and in spite of the fact that I am hardly a major academic I get enough each year to have at least 90 prints of beer a year (a British measure). Maybe when you are a rightsholder you have to join up to the CCC? Anthony -----Original Message----- From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 00:06:06 +0000 And some of that CCC income stream ends up in author's pockets ? I don't think so. I've got several articles CCC tracks. But never seen a cent.nor ever heard of any author of articles who has. When i asked the publisher assured me it wasn't large enough a source to warrant tracking it. Chuck
