RE: Derivative works?

["Sally Morris" <sally@morris-assocs.demon.co.uk>]

I'm sure all publishers recognise that one of the most important 
things authors want is to be able to repurpose their articles 
into more substantial works, or indeed for teaching purposes, and 
IMHO any enlightened author/publisher agreement ensures that they 
can do so - without having to ask permission first

See, for example, the ALPSP model agreement on their website

Hi Julie.

Section 101 of the Copyright Act defines derivative works as 
follows: A "derivative work" is a work based upon one or more 
preexisting works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, 
dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound 
recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any 
other form in which a work may be recast, transformed, or 
adapted. A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, 
elaborations, or other modifications which, as a whole, represent 
an original work of authorship, is a "derivative work". A 
research paper that cites a copyrighted work would not be 
considered a derivative work under this definition.
