Copyright for authors

For all publications, authors retain copyright (but allow sharing and reuse as per the license).

Sharing

In accordance with the specific license used, the work's content can be shared, copied, distributed, transmitted, adapted and used without needing to provide additional permission, provided appropriate attribution or share-alike is made to the original author or source, depending on the license at hand.

Importing works

For any material within a work that is not available under a compatible license, authors must gain written consent from the copyright holder(s).

Non-copyrightable works

Medical images (including radiographs, CT images etc) cannot be copyrightable if produced in certain countries, including the United States, see Wikilegal/Copyright of Medical Imaging. Similarly, data and factual information are not protected by copyright, and considered to be public domain once published. Additionally, simple representations and visualisations of data (e.g. tables and barcharts) are typically not creative enough to be eligible for copyright protection. As such, these types of material may be freely reused, adapted and mined without permission.

Plagiarism

Works uploaded to Radlines must not contain plagiarised material, unless legally permitted by the license or other legislation that covers the material at hand, or with permission of the copyright holder. This includes:

  • Text, images, or data that is copied from any other source
  • Ideas, concepts, or analysis from any other source
  • Material that is copied from the authors' own published works and without agreement of the editor or publisher of that work
