Is it legal for scientists to publish reviews they receive on papers?
- dalke 12y agoThe quotes on that page look like they fall under fair use. They are minimized quotes, they doesn't affect the market for the reviewer's comments, and the reviewer is part of a professional system where it's expected that people will make copies of the review, if only to pass it between editor and other reviewers). So, legal? Sure looks like it to this non-lawyer. Had it been a complete copy of the reviewers' comments, then you would need to consult someone with more knowledge of the copyright system.
