Information Services and Systems So you want to get published?
Are you planning to publish elements of your thesis as a book...
articles... digital or print... ? There are different levels of
copyright risk Permission to include in a thesis is not permission
to include in another publication Why? Check what you are allowed
to do with third party materials and orphan works
Slide 7
Information Services and Systems Research Copyright Original
research copyright Intellectual property (IP) is a protectable
product of intellectual endeavour IPR Management is important for
you and the University
Slide 8

Do... Assume copyright applies unless told otherwise Check for
rights & re-use policies every time Always attribute the source
including words, concepts, ideas, images... Dont... Assume web
material is copyright free
Slide 9

some rights within your work Does your work contain sensitive
information? Are there restrictions from your conditions of funding
on what can be shared? Commercial, ethical or otherwise
confidential?
Slide 10

material? It is anything in which someone else may have vested
rights of ownership includes: Long extracts of text Images,
illustrations, figures & tables Maps & charts All photos
& images Anything of your own that has been previously
published Third Party Copyright Licensing is often an
option...
Slide 11
Information Services and Systems Third Party material what is
allowed? Research publications : Journals and Books You can
incorporate limited amounts of third-party materials for criticism
and review purposes Fully cited and referenced be meticulous In
general: ask permission to re-use material
Slide 12
Information Services and Systems How do I seek permission?
Seeking permission: Identify the rights holder Formally request
permission to include item Be specific about what you want to do
with their content Keep records of all correspondence Repeat
request after 6 weeks if you havent heard anything Leave plenty of
time to get all permissions
Slide 13
Information Services and Systems What might I expect if I want
to use... Significant extracts from journal articles Attribution
and permission required from Publisher 6-8 weeks is not unusual for
a response Picture found on a commercial website Attribution and
permission required from company They may request a fee Adapted
images from multiple sources Attribution and permission required
for each image from Rights Holders They may request a fee Public
records material & Crown Copyright material UK Open Government
Licence removes most barriers for re-using public sector
information Check terms and conditions
Slide 14
Information Services and Systems How do I find
copyright-cleared images? Use specialised collections created for
educational use Use free photo collections like
flickrCCBluemountains, Stock.xchng, Wikimedia Commons, JISC Media
Hub, FreeFoto, MorgueFile, Pixabay... See our Copyright Toolkit
Copyright Toolkit Images & Media section
Slide 15
Information Services and Systems Managing Risk Dont forget that
you are responsible for ensuring copyright compliance in everything
you do so What if rights holders dont respond ? Remove any items
without explicit permission This is the only no risk strategy
Submit with items included Must have a documented record of
attempts to contact rights holder Will need to keep records for
some years This is a higher risk strategy
Slide 16
Information Services and Systems Web 2.0, Social Media &
Copyright Do you love to share? There is a new and exciting
interactive world out there but complex objects = complex rights...
feed alerts, twitter, forums, collaborative academic networks,
blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, data and text mining... Proceed
with caution there is not much copyright case law Remember - Shared
content sites may not give accurate re-use rights
Slide 17
Information Services and Systems Scenario I want to upload a
PDF of my research article to Research Gate ResearchGate argues
that profiles on their site count as 'personal websites. This
strategy allows ResearchGate to accomplish what they could not
otherwise accomplish without a large, rapid lawsuit: they are
creating a repository of free scientific publications...
Slide 18
Information Services and Systems Do you consider copyright in
your own work? Publications - Copyright Transfer Agreements As a
student you own your own intellectual property but will you give
away your author rights to your publisher? Have you read the
Swansea IP Policy that governs content created if you are employed
by the University?
