Creative Commons

Ever wondered what licence to choose when publishing a paper or book or sharing an article through a repository? And what licence to apply when sharing your teaching materials? The “Guide to Creative Commons for Scholarly Publications and Educational Resources” wants to help to choose the right licence by addressing several frequently asked questions and common concerns expressed by researchers about the use of CC licences.
