General principles
- cite all material that you use – reference accurately
- ensure that if you use a "substantial" part of a work you have the right to use it in your publications
- make copies of material, whether print or electronic copies, in accordance with the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright Act or use other options such as permission from the creator (see further details below)
- material created by others can be used in your publications – review your papers to make sure appropriate permissions have been obtained
- Library staff can assist with information on copyright
- material on the Internet is not necessarily able to be freely copied or reproduced without permission.
The Australian National University is committed to compliance with the Copyright Act 1968 and upholding the rights of creators and users of copyright material.
A copyright guide has been prepared to assist higher degree students to understand the basics of copyright for their theses, publications and other work. Further general assistance can be found from the University Library.
If you need advice in relation to a University copyright matter and your question has not been resolved after reviewing the materials in this guide, you may contact the Library for further assistance.
Fair Dealing
Fair dealing for research or study applies only to private research and examination. It does not extend to publication. If you plan to publish your work in a journal or book, or make your thesis or article publicly available, you will usually need permission to use third‑party content unless another exception clearly applies, such as criticism or review with sufficient acknowledgement.
