HighBeam Research licenses content from various content providers – companies that secure the rights to publish and/or redistribute articles from thousands of individual publishers worldwide. We rely on our providers and, in turn, they rely on publishers, to ensure that all articles are cleared for use on our service.
Please contact your publisher first to ensure your permissions are being handled correctly. (Contact information is typically available on publishers’ websites.) Unless you specifically withheld electronic copyright permissions or kept the copyright and did not grant a license to the electronic copy, the publisher may be entitled to permit third parties to republish or redistribute your work.
If you’d like to contact the provider to let them know there may be a problem with incorrect distribution rights, contact information is listed below.
HighBeam Research is not the writer or publisher of the articles we provide, and our licensing agreements typically prohibit us from making any changes to the content provided to us.
If you believe the content of an article is inaccurate, defamatory, or otherwise violates your rights, please first direct your concern to the publisher, which has responsibility for accuracy. If you’d like to contact the provider, contact information is listed below. Contacting the provider may be especially appropriate when you have been advised by the publisher that the article has already been removed from distribution.
If you’d like to contact HighBeam Research directly, call us at 1-800-860-9227 or send us a message. If contacting HighBeam by email, please include a link to the article you would like removed, along with a brief explanation of your reason for requesting the removal.
Should the publisher or provider decide to take down or modify the article, we will be happy to make the change on our end once we receive proper notification. Otherwise, our policy is to take at face value the assurances we receive from our content suppliers that the materials that they send us are accurate and do not violate third-party rights.
To determine the content provider, look for the copyright information displayed on all articles. The provider can also be determined by looking at the URL, as noted in the information below.
