Clarifying the legalities for authors and editors
Over the past six years, the Text Recycling Research Project has conducted empirical studies to better understand text recycling in the research context and used what they’ve learned to develop guidelines and informational resources for editors, authors and instructors. It’s now time for editors and publishers to clarify their organisations practices regarding the legality of text recycling.

Cary explains the legal situation and the steps publishers can take to remove unnecessary legal confusion and hurdles. The session will open to questions and discussion from the audience.

Cary is Director of the NSF-funded Text Recycling Research Project. His articles and essays related to writing pedagogy and text recycling have appeared in such publications as The Chronicle of Higher Education, Science, Research Integrity and Peer Review, Bioscience, Science and Engineering Ethics, and the Journal of College Science Teaching.
