This workshop will introduce key aspects of copyright in publishing, teaching, and the use of secondary data. The first part of the session will focus on copyright considerations in both publishing and teaching.
In the first part, attendees will become familiar with copyright considerations when publishing different outputs, in both open and closed access. Creative commons licences will also be explored, alongside the blanket copyright licences that the UK Higher education institutions tend to utilise for teaching. Furthermore, common copyright questions will be addressed and the importance of appreciating the situation-dependent nature of copyright will be highlighted.
The second part will then address copyright considerations in the use of secondary data, highlighting issues such as protection under copyright, exceptions and copyright and licences.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a better understanding of different terms and licences available for publishing in different formats and copyright considerations when creating, using or sharing data.
There will be time at the end for questions and discussion.
