Ambiguity[edit]

I'm sorry: is this category fro just CC-BY licensed journals, or for all gournals with a CC license with the BY clause? For example, PeerJ is released with a CC-BY-SA 3.0. Aubrey (talk) 15:46, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming that it's rather inclusive, it wouldn't make sense to create separate cats for too many subtypes of the CC license. --Randykitty (talk) 15:50, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PS: in general it is better to post this kind of questions at the talk page of the Academic journals Wikiproject, because it is rare that people watch categories, I just was here by chance right now... --Randykitty (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Creative Commons Attribution License" refers to the different versions of CC BY (e.g. 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and soon 4.0) and does not include anything with additional restrictions, such as -SA. Also, PeerJ is licensed CC BY 3.0, not CC BY-SA 3.0. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 00:12, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So do you propose to create separate categories for journals that are CC-BY-SA? --Randykitty (talk) 11:10, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In principle yes, but there are very few, and I'm not sure if any of them has an entry that we could put into such a category. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed one placed incorrectly in this category, so went ahead and created BY-SA category page, before noticing this discussion. If that is not OK, feel free to delete. :) Mike Linksvayer (talk) 22:09, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
