Defining Authorship
The preparation, submission and publication of a research output is a compulsory component of research training for a Griffith Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidate. Mentoring this process is an important role of HDR supervisors. In Australia and internationally, the production of a research output involving both supervisor, candidate, and sometimes other collaborators and research participants, is a common source of disputes, distress, and complaints within the candidate-supervisor relationship.
Copyright Guide
Copyright law determines when and how you can copy, publish, communicate or perform works that others have created. Copyright begins once a work has been created and requires no formal registration. These laws apply to HDR candidates. A full explanation of Copyright can be found here.
