Copyright
Upon delivering a revised version of their original manuscript to the editors the author accepts publication in the web-journal Politiikasta. Politiikasta follows the open publication license for scientific journals (CC BY-NC-ND), which allows for the use and distribution of published materials for non-commercial purpose in such a fashion that the original publication information is included following the usual standards of scientific publication. The author may republish their work published in Politiikasta as long as they include the original publication information.
Any versions of a manuscript preceding publication with editorial comments may not be publicly published. For the sake of search engine optimization for online-published content, we kindly request the author not to openly publish a copy of their work elsewhere for 30 days. After this the author may openly republish the work on a platform of their choice. However, publication of copies should always be linked to the original publication in Politiikasta.
The publisher (Finnish Political Science Association) retains the right to use and distribute the article according to the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License. This license is only void if specifically agreed otherwise before publication. The author will be contacted about any potential republications; the author is to keep their contact information up to date to facilitate contact.

Tekijänoikeudet
Kun kirjoittaja hyväksyy artikkelinsa ensimmäisen toimitetun vedoksen lähettämällä päivitetyn version, hän hyväksyy sen julkaisemisen Politiikasta.fi -verkkolehdessä. Avoimen julkaisemisen lisenssi tiedelehdille (CC BY-NC-ND -lisenssi) sallii aineistojen levittämisen ja käytön ei-kaupalliseen tarkoitukseen siten, että alkuperäiset julkaisutiedot mainitaan ja noudatetaan muita lisenssin ehtoja ja normaaleja tieteellisen lainaamisen käytäntöjä. Kirjoittaja voi julkaista uudelleen Politiikasta-verkkolehdessä julkaistuja tekstejään, kunhan tekstin alkuperäiset julkaisutiedot mainitaan.
Versiota käsikirjoituksesta, jossa näkyvät toimitukselliset muutokset, ei saa tallentaa avoimesti. Verkkotekstien hakuoptimoinnin vuoksi toivomme, että julkaistua teosta ei avoimesti rinnakkaistallenneta 30 vuorokauteen julkaisusta. Tämän jälkeen tekijällä on oikeus rinnakkaistallentaa teoksen julkaistu versio vapaasti lisenssin ehtojen mukaisesti ja tallentaa se yleisölle avoimeen digitaaliseen arkistoon heti julkaisun jälkeen. Rinnakkaistallennettu julkaisu on linkitettävä alkuperäiseen julkaisuun Politiikasta-verkkolehdessä.
Kustantajalla (Valtiotieteellinen yhdistys) on oikeus käyttää teosta Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License -lisenssin ehtojen mukaisesti. Tästä lisenssistä voidaan poiketa vain erillisellä sopimuksella, jossa näin määritetään, ennen teoksen julkaisua. Mahdollisista uudelleenjulkaisuista tiedotetaan kirjoittajaa; kirjoittajalla on vastuu pitää kirjoittajatietonsa ajan tasalla.

Upphovsrätt
Då författaren har fått ett redaktionsgranskat utkast på sin artikel och returnerar ett uppdaterat manus utgör detta ett godkännande av att artikeln publiceras på nättidningen Politiikasta.fi. Publiceringen sker enligt licensen för öppen publicering i vetenskapliga tidskrifter (CC BY-NC-ND) som tillåter att materialet sprids och kan användes för icke-kommersiella ändamål så länge som information om den ursprungliga publiceringen anges och licensens övriga villkor samt gängse vetenskapliga citatregler följs. Författaren kan återpublicera texter som publicerats i nättidningen Politiikasta.fi så länge information om den ursprungliga publiceringen anges.
De versioner av manuskriptet med redigeringsförslag som föregår publiceringen får ej sparas öppet tillgängliga. Med tanke på sökmotoroptimeringen av nättidningens material önskar vi att publicerade artiklar inte parallellpubliceras av författaren inom 30 dagar från den ursprungliga publiceringen. Därefter har författaren rätt att återpublicera artikeln på valfri webbplattform eller annat digitalt arkiv öppet för allmänheten. Vid parallellpublicering skall man länka tillbaks till ursprungsartikeln på Politiikasta.
Utgivaren (Statsvetenskapliga föreningen) har rätt att använda verket enligt licensvillkoren i Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
