Copyright and Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society

Authors should ensure that they have all the necessary permissions to publish material submitted to Transactions in printed or electronic form. LAMAS is unable to obtain copyright on your behalf.

As an author in Transactions you retain the copyright to your text. However, the journal will retain the rights to mark-up, design and implementation of each article — to reflect the work that we put in between submission and publication.

We ask authors to sign an Author Licence, which is non-exclusive, and clearly sets out who owns the rights to the article.

It is your responsibility to provide written permission from the copyright holders of any text, line art or photographs or any other work that you want to use in your article (permission in email form is permissable). It is therefore also your responsibility to deal with any requests for reproduction fees.
