Excluded materials

The licenses above do not apply to the following unless a file or page expressly states otherwise:

  • portrait photographs and other personal images;
  • the curriculum vitae and its source material;
  • manuscripts, published articles, working papers, slides, supplements, and other scholarly documents;
  • the California State University, Fullerton name, emblem, trademarks, and other institutional materials;
  • third-party photographs, maps, figures, data, fonts, trademarks, or other material; and
  • content for which another author, publisher, institution, or source is credited.

Open-access and other scholarly works

The availability of a scholarly work on this website does not by itself grant reuse rights. A paper identified as open access may be reused only under the specific license displayed on the paper or by its publisher (for example, CC BY 4.0). A work that is free to read but has no open license remains subject to its applicable copyright terms. Publisher versions, accepted manuscripts, preprints, slides, supplements, and reproduced figures may have different rights even when they concern the same research.

The license or rights statement attached to the individual item controls. If none is shown, no additional permission is granted by this repository-wide license. These materials remain subject to the rights of their respective authors, publishers, institutions, or other rights holders and may require separate permission.

Nothing in this license implies endorsement by Desen Lin, California State University, Fullerton, or the California State University system.
