Navigating copyright

It's important to understand copyright and how it works. It affects researchers in two main areas:

  • when you use the work of others, known as third party material; you may need to check who owns the copyright and seek written permission
  • when you produce your own work 

Navigating copyright will help protect your intellectual property when publishing.
