Hints and tips:

  • Always check your funder open access policy

  • Copyright, licences and knowing your author rights can be confusing – please contact us eprints@soton.ac.uk if you have any questions

Planning for third party copyright

This applies when the rights to content (for example, images, maps, figures or long text extracts) that you would like to include in your publication do not belong to you.  You will need to seek permission from the copyright holder to include their material.
