Digital Age Copyright & Your Rights as an Author
- THATCamp Texas (2012, March)
- Presenter: Mirza, R.
- Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. This system is under pressure, however, because of the skyrocketing costs of academic journals, and many open-access initiatives are putting pressure on the for-profit mega-publishers. At this workshop, we will explore how you can better understand your rights as an author and how it may be possible for you to retain more control over your intellectual property. We will also focus on how copyright affects your teaching, research, and publishing. You will leave with an improved understanding of issues around copyright in the digital age and knowledge of tools that can help you understand your rights as an author.
