Copyright Guide

This guide will help you to find out how copyright affects your study, research and work here at the University of Derby. Please note that information on these pages is for guidance only: it should not be construed as formal legal advice.

Previous Institutions

Some publishers will only allow you to have your papers uploaded to one website or repository. It is important that you check prior to uploading any content to UDORA that outputs which have been deposited in another university's repository, does not violate the contract/licence between yourself and your publisher(s). It is best practice to set up a link from within UDORA to your previous institution's repository, rather than removing and re-uploading any such content. Please speak to Publication Practice Librarian Holly Limbert for further guidance.
