Research or study fair dealing

In order to rely on the provisions for study or research you must genuinely be copying the material for your own study or research. Any copies you make for the purpose of assembling resources to enable you to complete a course in your capacity as a student would most likely be for the purpose of study or research. Similarly, assembling resources to enable you to write a research paper would most likely be for the purpose of study or research.

When using a reference management tool to share or collaborate, it may be a breach of copyright to share full text published documents.

Staff cannot use the research or study fair dealing provisions to copy material on behalf of students, or to make multiple copies for distribution, or to put material online for students. Refer to Teaching support if you wish to make copies for those purposes.

You cannot use the fair dealing for research or study provision to reproduce material in a publication. Refer to Publishing and communication for more information.
