If you are requesting permission to distribute or republish articles, you will be asked to first search and select the exact article you wish to license or distribute.  Once you have identified a specific, single article, you will be automatically linked to the permission service available on the Web site of which the publisher of the article has selected as its fulfillment agency.  In the case of article content from Dow Jones & Company, Inc. the fulfillment agency will become the Copyright Clearance Center ("CCC").  Other, non-Dow Jones publishers may have selected other fulfillment agencies and you will be automatically directed to the appropriate fulfillment agency as directed by the publisher that holds copyright to the article you have selected.  These other Web sites are not subject to this Privacy Policy.

For your convenience we provide a link to the CCC Online Privacy Policy, iCopyright Online Privacy Policy and ProQuest Archiver Online Policy.

In order for you to fulfill your request, we must transfer certain article meta data to the fulfillment agency assigned to handle your request.  When you link to CCC, iCopyright or ProQuest Archiver from our Web site, we will transmit article xml data unique to the article you have selected in order for the fulfillment agency to identify the article that you have requested from our Web Site.
