Copyright and your thesis
All PGRs need to understand how copyright relates to their thesis. Prior to publishing your thesis you need to ensure you have obtained permission to use any copyrighted material and, in addition, have thought about the terms under which you will be making your thesis available for others to use.
As well as covering the publication of your thesis on Sussex Research Online (SRO), this workshop will explain the main principles of copyright, consider how and when UK fair dealing exceptions can be applied and establish, if you need to seek permission to use other people’s work in your thesis.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
- An awareness of the main principles of copyright
- Discovered how to correctly use material created by others in your thesis
- Discovered how to publish your thesis on SRO and considered the benefits of open publishing your thesis
