Dear friends, does anybody know that is it legal to upload a graphical abstract previously published on your paper's first page to a website such as figshare.com under CC-BY-4.0 license?
Did you create the abstract or was it created by someone else. If you did create it, did you assign its copyright to the journal? Only once we know the answers to these questions can i reply properly
Dear Charles, thank you for your reply. I cannot remember the copyright assignment; therefore, I shared only the journal links to the graphical abstracts.
A pity, because I cannot provide a definite answer to your question. If you reproduce the abstract with a CC licence you would be taking a risk - sorry!
