Policy
Rights and Takedown
This site is designed as a public research map, not as a substitute distribution channel for the original works it discusses. Edition pages therefore use a conservative product policy: summary first, provenance first, commentary first, and only the amount of quoted material needed to orient readers, support criticism or review, and make the source citeable.
How excerpting works here
Quoted source text is stored and selected at the paragraph or chunk level rather than by a mechanical word-count target. The editorial question is whether a passage is necessary for orientation, commentary, or citation, not whether the page can expose the maximum amount of source text.
Where ownership is unclear or substitution risk is high, the public page falls back to metadata-first display with minimal quoted material. Where the page can safely do more, it still distinguishes quoted source text from the archive's own commentary.
Display modes
Open display is used where the site is comfortable presenting fuller or longer public-facing material. Extended quotation plus commentary is the default for edition pages built around criticism, review, and orientation. Metadata-first is used where the site should stay descriptive and outbound-link-heavy rather than excerpt-heavy.
Quoted blocks on sensitive pages can carry element-level no-snippet controls, while page-level noindex is used when a page should remain available to readers but not circulate through search as a destination in its own right.
Provenance and outbound links
Every edition page aims to carry owner, publisher, and archive-source links where those are known. The public layer should point outward into the ecosystem around the work rather than acting as a vacuum cleaner for extracted text.
Rights and provenance are now attached at source level as well as work-page level, so record pages, text support pages, and edition pages all inherit the same baseline rights state instead of inventing separate public descriptions.
Takedown and suppression
If a rights-holder or authorized representative asks for a work or excerpt to be suppressed, the workflow is deliberately fast: the shared suppression registry can remove excerpts immediately, switch a page to metadata-first, and apply page-level noindex while the request is reviewed.
Contact rights@ccru-research-archive.invalid for rights or takedown requests. A production deployment should replace the local placeholder contact with a monitored address before launch.
