- gerikson 4y agoAre university results covered by copyright in the US?
- drdec 4y agoTypically the copyright belongs to the journal which published the results.
- frumiousirc 4y agoAnd that (c) applies to only the published copy. It is very common, even standard in many fields, for researchers to make the same material, just not exactly the published copy, publicly available. See eg arxiv.org.
