Copyright need not be a problem for researchers, however it is an important issue to consider from the outset of any project you are involved in. It’s important to consider the ownership of your research, the inclusion of any content owned by others and how you might want to share the work in the future.
If you have any copyright queries related to your research then in the first instance you should direct queries to Nina Watts (N.Watts01@westminster.ac.uk).
Other copyright guides and advice is also available at the University of Westminster for teaching staff and for students.
