Bioinformatics template copyright notice

I used the Bioinformatics template to format a submission to a preprint server (biorXiv). The PDF was rejected because there's a copyright notice in the footer. Here's the email I got from the biorXiv rejection:

Dear ;

We are returning this submission so that you can remove the following text from the pg. 1 footer:

"Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. For permissions, please e-mail: "

We believe this is part of a document submission template and recommend that it be removed so as to avoid confusing readers. Please resupply your manuscript PDF when you are ready to the above MS ID #000000 so that screening can proceed. Please do not create a new submission, as this will create a duplicate entry in our system.

Please contact us should you have any questions, and thank you for your interest in using the bioRxiv preprint service.

Looks like the culprit is around here:

https://github.com/rstudio/rticles/blob/fe36003858246a045212ac069310edcee698a4a1/inst/rmarkdown/templates/bioinformatics/skeleton/bioinfo.cls#L259-L268

Would be nice if this were a user-controlled variable, or possible to turn off completely.

By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that

• I have fully read the issue guide at https://yihui.name/issue/.
• I have provided the necessary information about my issue.
  • If I'm asking a question, I have already asked it on Stack Overflow or RStudio Community, waited for at least 24 hours, and included a link to my question there.
  • If I'm filing a bug report, I have included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example, and have also included xfun::session_info('rticles'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version: remotes::install_github('rstudio/rticles').
  • If I have posted the same issue elsewhere, I have also mentioned it in this issue.
• I have learned the Github Markdown syntax, and formatted my issue correctly.

I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.

Open inst/rmarkdown/templates/bioinformatics/skeleton/bioinfo.cls around lines 259-268 and inspect how the footer is added to generated PDFs. Review related issue #424, then render the Bioinformatics template to verify that the unwanted copyright notice can be controlled or omitted without affecting the rest of the footer.
