Copyright is the right to copy and publish a
work. Under copyright law, the person who
creates the work or the employer owns the
copyright of that work. In research, you can
usually use copyrighted work as long as you
cite the owner or the source. Important
feature of copyright law relating to research
are as follows:
 The pre-print is the first submitted
manuscript of your article before
peer-review, without revisions. It can
usually be publicly shared without
restrictions and embargo.
 The post-print is the final submitted
manuscript after peer-review. It
includes your last revisions, but has
not yet been typeset by the publisher.
The post-print can usually be
publicly shared after an embargo
period.
The publisher’s version is the final article,
formatted and typeset by the publisher, and
usually cannot be publicly shared (
Lombardi and et. al., 2017).
Discuss how to avoid the plagiarism and
copyright of electronic materials
To avoid accusations of plagiarism, give
credit whenever you use:
 Another person’s idea, opinion, or
theory.

 Any facts, statistics, graphs,
drawings—any pieces of information
—that are not common knowledge.
 Quotations of another person’s actual
spoken or written words.
 Paraphrase of another person’s
spoken or written words.
Copyright infringement includes the
unauthorized or unlicensed copying of a
work subject to copyright. Plagiarism is
using someone else's work or ideas without
giving proper credit. In other words, because
you are not giving attribution to the owner
of the original work or idea, you are
presenting the idea or thought as your own.
Plagiarism is a violation of academic norms
but not illegal, copyright violation is illegal
but quite common in academia (Libaque-
Saenz and et. al., 2016).
 Plagiarism is an offense against the author;
copyright violation is an offense against the
copyright holder. In traditional academic
publishing, they are usually not the same
person, because copyright transfer
agreements (CTAs) are so common.
 Plagiarism applies when ideas are copied;
copyright violation occurs only when a
specific fixed expression (e.g., sequence of
words, use of an image) is copied.
 Avoiding plagiarism is about properly
apportioning intellectual credit; copyright is
about maintaining revenue streams.
