Cumulative dissertations: publishing policies, copyright and Creative Commons licences.

Cumulative dissertations combine several published or accepted scientific articles/papers into a single doctoral thesis. This sometimes raises questions about publishing rights, terms of reuse and licensing models.

This information event therefore focuses on the legal and licensing aspects that are particularly relevant for PhD students and their supervisors. It provides an overview of:

  • Publishing policies and transfers of rights
  • Copyright conflicts in cumulative dissertations
  • CC licences and open access.

The webinar is aimed particularly at doctoral candidates, supervisors and others dealing with issues of scientific publication, Open Access policies and copyright frameworks.
