Copyright Information for Contributors
In general, the copyright owner(s) is the author or creator of an item.* While you retain copyright, depositing materials to SEIMA makes the work available to SEIMA users including public view (unless otherwise specified during submission). You must have permission to use work for which you do not own the copyright. This includes parts of work including images, music, videos/animations, or written documents. If such items are embedded into the work you intend to submit to SEIMA, you must have received permission to distribute or reproduce the work in this way. Please make sure such instances are well documented by, for example, applying best practices of attribution and citation. Copyright at UBC provides guidelines and resources related to copyright.
*“Generally, the creator owns copyright unless it has been assigned to another entity, such as a publisher or other person. If the work was created in the course of employment, the employer will own the copyright. UBC faculty own copyright in their own works, including course material and lectures, in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the UBC Faculty Association. For non-faculty staff, the University retains copyright in works created during the course of employment.” - UBC Copyright FAQ
