1. CREATIVE COMMONS ACTIVITY
1. Professor Smith wants to start a journal in partnership with some of his colleagues in
Montreal. He knows that some of his colleagues may want to translate the journal's
content into French, and he wants to be certain those French translations are as freely
available as the English works. He does not mind if the journal's work is used
commercially as long as credit is given to the author. What Creative Commons license
should Professor Smith choose for his journal?
2. Abigail, one of your journal editors, is considering a special issue of her journal which
will include original artwork by contributors. While the authors are comfortable with
freely sharing their artworks with attribution, they are concerned that their art will be
picked up by commercial entities and re-used, or that others will modify their work.
Which license would be appropriate for this special issue?
3. Dr. Jones is interested in creating a journal that contains educational resources for
classroom instruction and scholarly commentary on these resources. She wants
anybody to be able to use, share, and modify the material in her journal freely. Which
license should she choose for her journal?
4. John's journal will contain data sets contributed by article authors. He likes the idea
of other scholars using and repurposing the data, but does not want the original data
sets to be used by commercial entities. Which license should he choose?
