Navigating copyright in your thesis and beyond

This online workshop is part of the Becoming a Professional Researcher Themed Week

Session Description  

This session will provide an overview of UK copyright law and consider the implications for research, with a particular focus on what this means for the contents of a PhD thesis.

The role which Creative Commons licensing can play in supporting the re-use of material will be covered, and where appropriate material can be located. We will also explore interpretations of what is meant by ‘fair dealing’ and how exceptions can be used to facilitate the use of copyrighted content in an academic context, subject to certain criteria being met.

The session will also explore where permissions from a copyright holder may be required, how rights holders can be identified and how permissions can be sought.

The session will also provide an interactive element, with different scenarios related to copyright in research being explored and discussed.

Please note that the information being provided in this session does not constitute legal advice.
