Recently WikiJournalClub.org a fantastic online resource for journal review, brought to our attention that content from their journal club had been copied onto WikEM Journal Club. We support open access to content but more importantly believe in protecting copyright and attributing authorship. We have removed content that was in violation of their copyright and we will begin drafting copyright terms for our site which until this point have not existed.
If copyrighted content is replicated on WikEM permission must be obtained in writing from the original source. If you are summarizing preexisting content it must be sufficiently different from original source.
