Online Workshop: Images in Academic Publishing – Legal Frameworks

Course Area 3: »Scientific Techniques«

Target Group

For PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from social sciences, humanities, environmental sciences and heritage studies.

Rationale

This workshop will discuss the legal fundamentals for using images in scholarly communication. We will cover conventional print and online publications, but also when seminar papers, lecture slides, or conference posters are made available online and considered to have been published. Finally, we will look at the various licensing models and how you can use images in a legally secure manner.

Content

  • Who owns the rights to an image? Copyright and rights of exploitation
  • Helpful limits: Citing images in academic publications
  • Access for all: CC licenses
  • Requesting images, obtaining permissions

After the workshop, you will ...

  • know how to use your image material and that of others while respecting copyright and other rights
  • understand what to keep in mind with free licenses and how to request image rights

Trainer

Nadine Riedl has studied in Heidelberg and Berlin and holds a doctorate in Classical Archaeology from the Freie Universität Berlin.

After completing her master’s degree, she worked for several years at the German Protestant Institute of Archaeology (GPIA) in Amman, Jordan, where she participated in numerous excavations and surveys of the German Archaeological Institute. Back in Germany and after two years of Museum work – resulting in a large exhibition on the history and archaeology of Jordan – she began to focus on one of her favourite activities: editing academic works and taking care of the entire publication process.

As a freelancer and a long-term managing editor at the Excellence Cluster Topoi, she has handled numerous works in the humanities, and social sciences from the manuscript phase to publication, including PhD theses and multi-author volumes, and is therefore well versed in overcoming the challenges associated with publishing.

With Publiversum (www.publiversum.de), Nadine Riedl combines her two professional roles as a publishing instructor and editorial professional. Her publishing workshops are particularly suitable for and aimed at authors with little or no academic publishing experience – although established and already published authors might benefit as well and are equally welcome to attend
