Guidelines for sustainable online resources

Disclaimer

These guidelines do not constitute legal advice and are offered based on the team's knowledge and experience, gained during our work with web resource creators as part of the ReStore project. They are intended to assist online resource authors, particularly those who may want to consider using ReStore in the future, to think through the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relevant to their project at the outset.
We strongly recommend that authors also consult their own legal advisors. Although some of the general principles of good practice could be useful to those setting up web resources for research by other types of organisations and in other countries (as there is has been much harmonisation of intellectual property law internationally) this guidance has been developed predominantly from a UK University perspective.
