“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” – Sir Isaac Newton

This famous quote is often used to illustrate how research is undertaken and to demonstrate how frequently research needs to be shared and reused. One of the key tools in doing this is copyright, a way to ensure the rights of the creator in the context of use and reuse of scholarship. This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of copyright, its place in a growing environment of open research practices and how it fits into an atmosphere of research integrity and enhanced research ethics. We will also consider the current politics of the use and reuse of scholarly material in an age of large language models and generative artificial intelligence. The session will cover a mix of theory and practical examples as well as provide plenty of space for discussion and questions on the topics covered.
