What does the UOC do to respect intellectual property?
The university has worked to use content lawfully and respect copyright since its foundation. This involves a combination of legal, training and awareness initiatives in the following areas:
- Teaching: these actions cover the learning resources available in the classroom, such as books, articles and software, as well as students' continuous assessment activities and final projects.
- Research: research staff are subject to issues involving intellectual property rights, such as the correct use of citations and bibliographic references.
- Learning: students have to understand the basics of copyright and citation guidelines as part of the skills needed to study.
