AUB DATA BANK DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

To properly administer the AUB Data Bank and preserve the contents for future use, AUB requires certain permissions and warrants from you, the Creator(s) and/or copyright owner. If copyright law is applicable to your dataset submission and you are the copyright owner, by accepting this agreement, you still retain copyright to your work and do not give up the right to submit the Dataset to publishers or other repositories. If you are not the copyright owner, you represent that the copyright owner has given you permission to make the Dataset publicly available to AUB community.
By accepting this License, you grant to the University the non-exclusive right to reproduce, translate (as described below), and distribute the Dataset in any format or medium to AUB members, unless otherwise provided for by an addendum to this Deposit Agreement. You must contact Data Service Librarian at scholarworks@aub.edu.lb if you would like an addendum to this Deposit Agreement to be considered.
You agree that the University may convert the deposited Data Files and/or Metadata Files to any medium or format and make multiple copies of the deposited Dataset for the purposes of security, back-up, and preservation. In addition, you understand and agree that Data Service Librarian may make changes to Descriptive Metadata, including enhancements (such as addition of key words) and/or corrections (such as minor typos). Any Descriptive Metadata changes will be tracked via a public change log. Your Dataset will not otherwise be altered without your permission.
You understand that the name of the Depositor as well as the name and email address of the Long-Term Contact Person may be displayed with the published Dataset, as will the copyright license selected by the Depositor.
The University also commits to providing access of Datasets to AUB community through maintenance of persistent AUB databank webpage, Descriptive Metadata records, and identifiers, and to providing access metrics, which may include page-views, downloads, and citations. The University currently commits to this level of preservation, access, and reporting to your publication via the AUB Data Bank.
If you cannot make all of the following representations, then you must contact Data Service Librarian scholarworks@aub.edu.lb before proceeding further.
By agreeing to this Deposit Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and accept the terms of this License and all related AUB Data Bank and University policies.
