Hi,
Once again, I would like to start with thanks to the developers for untiring efforts on OJS. I upgraded from OJS 2.4.8.2 to 3.0.2. In OJS 2 system before upgrade, the copyright holders of the articles were the authors. The copyright status was displayed at the end of the articles as in this image.
After the upgrade, I noticed that the author names are not displayed in the License section. Only the open access policy is displayed with the articles beneath the keywords.
So I tried to reset the article permission in the new system, but it did not help. I noticed that a text (Author) is displayed at the end of authors list. This text also appears in the control panel and in copyright holders (schedule for publication). When I change interface language to Turkish, the text also becomes Turkish (Yazar).
I am sure it is directly related to the database settings because, when I change config.inc.php to connect to an older database backup, these text (Author) disappears.
When I look at the submission_settings table, no submissions except one (that I filled the copyright holders manually) has copyrightHolder and copyrightYear values. These rows don’t exist.
Reset article permissions function did not help.
How can I set copyright holders of all submissions to relevant authors? How can I remove the (Author) text?
Best Regards,
Ugur Kocak
Server Environment: Linux OS, PHP version 5.6.29, Apache 2.2, database driver mysql, Database server version 5.6.34.
To suppress the “Author” text, go to Users & Roles > Roles, edit the Author role, and uncheck the “Show role title in contributor list” checkbox.

Hi @asmecher & @bozana,
Thanks much, really. I looked it for 2 weeks but couldn’t find its origin. It is clear that I have tampered journal settings. The text disappeared now.
Other issues seem to be parts of a new update, I don’t know much about github but will learn about it. And will apply fixes one by one.
Best regards,
Ugur Kocak
We’ve upgraded to OJS 3.1 where the fix is included, but the copyright information is still not visible on the article page. Are there any solutions to this?
Could you maybe exactly explain what have you done and how are your (journal and article) settings and maybe also provide a link to the article page that should have the license information displayed on?
Unfortunately this is published on a local test server so I am unable to provide you with a link, but I have attached screenshots fro the article page and the “Schedule for publication”-page and also included the html-code below. As you can see the license information is visible but not the copyright information.
<div class="item copyright">
<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" src="//i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" /></a>

Ah, that seems to be a different issue – the copyright information is not displayed at all if there it is a CC license, that has an image and text. I will check with the others in the team how to solve that, how and where to display the copyright information and then come back to you…
Hi @tormod
Besides attaching a license to each article, I filled the copyright information in the permission tab of distribution settings. Please, check the screenshots. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Another issue concerning the Copyright information display on an article page is that the Copyright notice added to the permissions tab is automatically displayed under the license information, as seen in the screenshot posted above by @drugurkocak.
We need to add a Copyright notice in the permission tab to display the copyright information to authors submitting a manuscript. But we don’t see the need for this information to be displayed on the article page, in addition to the the copyright and license information that is already displayed from the publication-step.
In OJS 2.4.8, the Copyright notice shown to authors when submitting was separated from the one displayed on the articles. Would this be possible in OJS3?
Alec I am having problems with copyright display on our system. I have read all the posts with no success. May be I have missed something in the setting!
Is the copyright URL we have chosen wrong?
Is this URL http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 the right one for the open access for a small journal like AJTCAM and AJID?
I will appreciate your assistance.
In the article’s Production workflow page, open the “Schedule for Publication” link on the right-hand side and check to make sure the permissions for that article are set properly.
