Copyright is an important consideration for researchers who gather information during the life cycle of a research project.
Copyright is a legal right that gives the control of original works for its use and distribution to the creator of the material. Copyright is therefore an important consideration for researchers who gather information during the life cycle of a research project. Ownership will often rest with the contributing research participants, rather than the researcher who are carrying out the activity.
In order to avoid the exploitation of the copyright owner’s material it is important that researchers seek advice before it is copied, reformatted or used. Further information is available at:
