What is copyright?
• The right to determine who can make copies of
creative works, under what circumstances, in what
media, for what charge
• Copyright in a work can be bought, sold, and
exchanged

What is copyright?
• “Creative” has a broad definition
• Copyright does not have to be claimed – it is assigned automatically
• The creator of a copyrighted work is the original rights holder – but the rights holder can change
![Page 16: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• The rights holder can give others permission to use the works
• Only the rights holder can permit reuse, adaptation or distribution of a copyrighted work
• The rights holder can sell or transfer the rights to someone else
• Organisations may claim copyright under terms of employment or funding
• The relevant UK legislation is the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988 (amended)
![Page 17: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 19: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How does copyright affect you?
![Page 20: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How does copyright affect you?
Under our CLA licence, you can photocopy / print out:• one book chapter; one article from one journal issue; one
poem / short story from an anthology; one whole scene from a play; one paper from a set of conference proceedings; one report of a single case from a volume of judicial proceedings
OR10% of the total publicationWhichever is the greater
• In some instances, fair dealing exceptions (see later) may be more generous than these terms
![Page 21: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

periodical• scence from a play• paper from a set of conference
proceedings• single case from a volume of
judicial proceedings• short story, poem or play (of less

OR
10% of the total work
Whichever is the greater
![Page 22: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How does copyright affectyou?
• You can use text mining of databases to which you have legitimate access for research purposes
• “The right to read is the right to mine”
• Some publishers are making this harder than it need be
![Page 23: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How about “fair use”?
• No such thing in UK law (at the moment)
• “Fair dealing” can be used as a defence, but isn’t defined in law
• Some minor exemptions for educational purposes and library privilege
![Page 24: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Using copyrighted works
• You can use copyright works if:– You own the rights – The rights holder gives you permission– The rights have expired– Under certain statutory copyright exemptions
• Permission to reuse can be:– one-off or ongoing– specific to a purpose or general– exclusive or nonexclusive– or may be given as an open licence allowing liberal reuse rights
![Page 25: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What are copyright exceptions?
• Limited use of copyright works without permission is possible in certain circumstances: – Using an insubstantial part of a work– Fair dealing for non-commercial research and
private study, criticism and review• If you are copying a substantial proportion,
you may need permission• Note – “substantial” is not defined in law!
![Page 26: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Recognising the risks of using3rd party material in your work
No risk• Reusing limited amounts with proper referencing• Reusing items with permission or where t&c's or licenses
clearly permit use
Low risk• Reusing material under the fair dealing defence • Reusing extracts within a lecture or examination
Increasing risk• Posting 3rd party material to web• Using large & significant extracts, images, diagrams etc.
without permission
![Page 27: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3rd party material:practical steps
• Check the original item to see what is permitted– Website terms and conditions or copyright notices are
useful guides• Some resources may offer licensed re-use– Creative commons licenses can be helpful
• When in doubt assume items are in copyright– Permission must explicitly be sought– Many non-commercial rights holders will grant permission
for etheses– Some rights holders may expect fees and charges
![Page 28: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sample copyright notice
![Page 29: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Seeking permissions
1. Identify the rights holder2. Formally request permission to include item
• Be specific about what you intend to use it for • e.g. for inclusion in an ethesis to be deposited in an open access
repository
3. Keep records of all correspondence• May need to show proof of permission
4. Repeat request after 6 weeks if you haven’t heard anything• Try phone/e-mail/post etc
5. Leave plenty of time to get all permissions
![Page 30: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
When should you requestpersmission?
• The more time you give yourself the better
• When you start your research, start to collect permissions
• Don’t leave it until you’re about to submit!

Copyright and legacyacademic publishing
• Monographs – copyright in the text stays with author
• Journal articles – copyright is usually transferred to the publisher
• Journal articles – sometimes publishers take a licence to publish, rather than full copyright
![Page 43: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Copyright and legacyacademic publishing
In the case of most traditionally-published articles, you will have had to assign your
copyright to the publisher – i.e., you no longer hold the copyright in that work
![Page 44: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Copyright and academicpublishing: Open Access
• Open Access articles are freely available to anyone with a web connection
• They may have looser re-use restrictions than legacy-published content
• Publishing on an open access basis need not entail giving up the rights in your work
![Page 45: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Copyright and academicpublishing: Creative Commons
• Most open access journals use some form of Creative Commons Licence
• CC licences can be summarised by the phrase “Some Rights Reserved”
• These licences provide way of explicitly stating what users can and cannot do with a publication
• Note – someone has to be the rights-holder in order to apply a CC licence; that someone could be you, or the publisher
![Page 46: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Copyright and Creative Commons
Creative Commons Licences allow varying combinations of the following contributions:
• BY (Attribution) – any re-users must acknowledge initial authorship/publication
• NC (Non Commercial) – item cannot be re-used for commercial purposes
• ND (No Derivatives) – item cannot be re-edited, chopped and changed for inclusion in a new work
• SA (Share Alike) – any new item re-using the work must have the same licence as the original work
![Page 47: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Copyright andOpen Access
Gold vs. Green• Most gold open access publishers will offer a range of
Creative Commons licences – some have their own licences
• If self-archiving a traditional publication via the green open access route, it is more likely that the publisher will retain the copyright, simply granting the author a licence to self-archive
![Page 48: Researcher KnowHow: Copyright for researchers](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/587403a91a28ab6f1d8b5a59/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Open Access policies
• These RCUK and COAF policies require gold open access articles arising from research they’ve funded to be available on a CC-BY licence – Creative Commons Attribution
• This licence is preferred as it provides the least ambiguous indication of how an item can be used
• You must also choose this licence if the University’s Institutional Open Access fund is being used
• Publishing via the Green Open Access route can also satisfy the requirements of these policies
