Moral rights and attribution

Under the Copyright Act 1968, authors and artists have the right to be attributed or identified as the creator of their materials, to prevent others from being falsely attributed as the creator, and to ensure their materials are not subject to derogatory treatment. These rights are called moral rights and are separate to copyright protection.

To meet this obligation, attribute the work by providing enough information to identify the creator and the work e.g. author, title, publication year, source.
