Permissions Policy

With the exception of “guest posts” written by others (see the bottom of this page), we own the content on this Web site. It is copyrighted in our names. We want to strike the appropriate balance between getting our content widely distributed while at the same time protecting our intellectual property rights. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Without My Permission

You are free to do the following without our permission:

• Link to our site or any specific post on our site.
• Extract and re-post less than 200 words on any other site, provided you link back to our original post.
• Print off our posts and photocopy up to 50 copies for internal distribution within your own company or organization.
• Print our posts in any non-commercial publication (e.g., company newsletter, church newsletter, class syllabus, etc.), provided you include this copyright notice: “© 2014, Engineering Management Institute. All rights reserved. Originally published at www.engineeringmanagementinstitute.org.”

Not Without My Permission

You must have our expressed written consent to do any of the following:

• Use this content for commercial purposes, including selling or licensing printed or digital versions of our content.
• Alter, transform, or build upon this work.

Re-posting and Translation Rights

We do not permit the re-posting of our posts in their entirety. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. It often can’t tell which site hosts the original, so we risk getting penalized ourselves for granting permission.

In addition, we don’t allow the translation and publication of our work in other languages. We simply don’t have the resources to validate the quality of the work.

Guest Posts

Guest bloggers retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. We cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point.

If you have some use for our content that is not covered here, please email us.
