Copyright & Publication Rights
Protecting your intellectual property while ensuring global accessibility to your research.
What is copyright?
Copyright is a form of intellectual property that protects original creative work, such as scholarly articles. It grants authors the right to decide how their work is used, published, and distributed by others.
How long does it last?
Copyright does not last indefinitely. For literary works like academic essays, the protection typically spans the author's life plus 70 years, though this can vary by jurisdiction and work type.
