These are the categories of publisher that are relevant to 'Biointerphases'.

In general, the lowest category in the list below takes priority regarding copyright and policies. This is not clear and certain, however, for 'Client organisations' and 'Associate organisations'.

It gets complicated when there are more than two levels involved.

Former Publisher (Previous Publisher)

Definition:	A Publishing organisation of any variety that has relinquished ownership to another publisher
Case/E.g.:	Ownership of Practical Neurology passed from Wiley-Blackwell to BMJ Publishing
Guidance:	May publish on behalf of ministries or departments which have their own rights and policies

Society Publisher (Organisational Publisher, Professional Publisher)

Definition:	Society or organisation publishing its own journals
Case/E.g.:	American Chemical Society
Guidance:	Normally do not publish for other organisations, but may publish for subdivisions which could have separate rights.

Client Organisation

Definition:	Society or organisation whose journals are published for them by a publishing house
Case/E.g.:	Publishing house declarations: 'Published on behalf of...', 'Journal of the ...'
Guidance:	Copyright probably held by the client organisation, but not certain. If the publishing house does not allow you to archive, you could contact the client organisation. RoMEO gives the policies of client organisations where known. Otherwise it gives the policies of their publishing house.
