Copyright Essentials

Tuesday, 24 March | 10.30am to 12.00pm

Copyright is a type of legal protection given to original intellectual outputs ranging from text works (journal articles, poems, books) to images (photographs, diagrams, charts, tables) and recordings (videos, music, podcasts). When using other people's material, researchers must consider whether their use is permitted under copyright law.

This session will provide helpful information on copyright for researchers, including:

  • Practical ways researchers can manage copyright complexities and avoid obstacles and roadblocks that may arise when using their scholarly work more broadly.
  • The role of copyright exceptions in allowing researchers to use other people's material without having to seek permission and the limits that apply to those exceptions.
  • When permission from the copyright owner is required and practical alternatives where permission cannot be secured or is too expensive.

Strategic Publishing - choosing a journal

This workshop is an introduction to Strategic Publishing and will be delivered by Faculty Librarians. It will cover:
  • How to identify predatory publishers and avoid them.
  • How to choose outlets for publishing your research.
  • How to use databases and other tools to answer your questions about the relevance and reputation of a journal or other publication that you are considering.
  • The importance of Researcher Profiles and the benefits of Open Access to increase the visibility of your research.

Web of Science is one of the largest index databases for peer-reviewed academic literature. Macquarie University Library has subscribed to the Web of Science Research Assistant in 2026. This powerful tool uses agentic AI workflows to streamline and elevate your research:
  • Topic Explorer – uncover smarter topic discovery, map connections, and gain deeper insights through interactive visualizations.
  • Literature Review – generate structured, contextual guidance that helps you navigate and synthesise complex research landscapes.
  • Find a Journal – receive tailored journal recommendations aligned to your manuscript and research goals.
Join us and see how these automated, intelligent workflows can accelerate your research, reveal hidden insights, and simplify your path from idea to publication.
