Copyright for Graduate Students: Issues in Publishing and Research

This presentation will cover questions that graduate students often ask about copyright, including:

• May I use someone else’s text, figures, or illustrations in my dissertation or journal article?
• May I reuse my own previously published text, figures, or illustrations in a second publication?
• How can I copyright my work?
• How can I keep someone else from appropriating my ideas?
• Do I own my work, or does the university?
• What do certain clauses in my publishing contract mean?
