How do I set which licenses are available for books?
The setting that determines which Creative Commons licenses are enabled is found at:
Manager > Licenses setting
The license menu will list the licenses available to choose from. There are two options that must be set for each license:
- Submission form - enables/disables the license during book submission process (i.e. can the author select it)
- Editor dashboard - enables/disables the license on the editor’s Catalog metadata page
These are separate settings as there will be use cases where the publisher will need to publish a specific book under a certain license but does not wish to make this license available to all new book submissions.
To set the book license options, select the desired licenses and click Save
For example, the above setting would lead to:
The submission form offering four license options to the submitting author
and the Catalog metadata offering six options to the editor
