The TRRP Policy for Text Recycling is a model policy for the reuse of prose in academic/research publishing. This policy should suit many publishers who need a brief yet complete text recycling policy. Because consistent expectations across publishers are beneficial for both authors and editors, we encourage publishers to adopt this policy without modification when possible.

However, the TRRP recognizes that some details of our model policy will not be appropriate for all publishers—whether because those details do not align with their publishing context or disciplinary norms, or because our format does not integrate well with their existing policy structure. Publishers and editors who prefer to modify the TRRP Policy or develop their own should read our Guide To Developing Text Recycling Policies.
