Report a copyright or rights issue

If a paper hosted on Spotlight infringes your copyright, was posted without your permission, or names you as an author incorrectly, email info@spotlight-scholar.com with the subject line “Rights complaint”.

Please include:

A link to the paper on Spotlight.
What the problem is — infringement, posted without permission, or incorrect authorship.
Enough detail for us to identify you as the rights holder or the affected author.
A contact address we can reply to.

We aim to acknowledge rights complaints within three working days. Where a complaint is clear on its face we will make the paper private while we look into it, and we will tell the uploading author that we have done so.
