Overall, this is good. A technical issue... Clause 4d is too narrow, I think:
d. contains plagiarized material or material which by contract was not (yet) to be published;
Suggest:
d. contains plagiarized material or material the publication of which is restricted by contract or as a condition of employment;
Many scientists work for government agencies or corporations with legitimate reasons (e.g., national security, trade secrets) where there is no "contract" involved. Adding "condition of employment" would cover those cases.
