An Introduction to Copyright in Scholarly Communications
This seminar will introduce attendees to the basic principles of copyright as they apply to scholarly communications while also clearing up common misconceptions. Starting with a discussion of the debate surrounding the purpose of copyright—and who it protects—experts will address central issues and concepts such as the difference between plagiarism and violating copyright law, the definition of fair use, and CCBY licenses. We will also hold an open discussion of some common scenarios encountered by editors, publishers, authors, and researchers as well as the responsibilities of each stakeholder group in navigating (or enforcing) the rules. This seminar is a great way to remember what you’ve forgotten about copyright and to learn what you never knew!
