Copyright

Understanding copyright and licensing is crucial for researchers to protect their work, control how it can be used, and reuse the work of others without infringing on the rights of its creators.  

The Libraries provide training and consultation to help researchers navigate the legal and ethical implications of copyright and intellectual property. We offer guidance on:

• Understanding author rights and publisher copyright transfer agreements
• Identifying and selecting an appropriate license for your work
• Navigating fair use and securing permissions to use copyrighted content in your teaching, research, and publishing projects 

• Copyright

• Rutgers Copyright Policy
  Policy defining the rights and responsibilities of university stakeholders in creating and using copyrighted works.
   
• Intellectual Property 101
