Copyright

We believe that our work should be shared as widely as possible. Where our research is published in journals, we are committed to making sure these are open access. We also licence most of the resources on this website under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 licence. This means that unless otherwise noted, you can republish our content online or in print for free. You just have to credit us and link to us, and you can’t edit our material or sell it.

Republishing guidelines

Unless you have express permission from the author, you cannot edit our material, except to reflect relative changes in time, location and editorial style. (For example, “yesterday” can be changed to “last week,” and “UK” to “United Kingdom” or “here”). If you need to materially edit our content, please contact us.
You have to credit our authors and partner institutions — ideally in the byline. We prefer “Author Name, Institution”.
You have to credit Mariners— ideally at the top of the article and include our logo — with a link back to either our home page or (preferably) the specific content URL on our website.
If space is tight, you can run the first few lines of the content and then say: “Read it in full on the Mariners website” with a link back to the content page on our site.
It is permissible to put our articles on pages with ads, but you can’t sell our material separately.
Please note that not all images on the website are included in this licence. Some images are subject to separate licence terms that prevent them from being republished.
You can republish individual content, but you can’t systematically republish all of our content. If that’s your aim, please contact us.
Our articles are licensed under Creative Commons 4.0 — Attribution/Non-Commercial/Share-Alike. The link explains the legal details. If you have questions, please contact us.
