This is a presentation delivered on December 1, 2020 by the UC Berkeley Library's Office of Scholarly Communication Services and the Research Data Management Program.
Are you unsure about how you can use or reuse other people’s data in your teaching or research, and what the terms and conditions are? Do you want to share your data with other researchers or license it for reuse but are wondering how and if that’s allowed? Do you have questions about university or granting agency data ownership and sharing policies, rights, and obligations? We will provide clear guidance on all of these questions and more in this interactive webinar on the ins-and-outs of data sharing and publishing.
- Explore venues and platforms for sharing and publishing data
- Unpack the terms of contracts and licenses affecting data reuse, sharing, and publishing
- Help you understand how copyright does (and does not) affect what you can do with the data you create or wish to use from other people
- Consider how to license your data for maximum downstream impact and reuse
- Demystify data ownership and publishing rights and obligations under university and grant policies

policy before publishing your
own data

21. If copyright gives authors
exclusive rights for so long, how
can we ever use anything?
23. Other limitations: The Public Domain
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORKS EXPIRED COPYRIGHT

24. So if something *is* protected,
we have to get permission
to use it?
25. “The fair use of a copyrighted
work…for purposes such as
criticism, comment, news
reporting, teaching…,
scholarship, or research, is
not an infringement of
copyright.”
17 U.S.C. § 107

26. FOUR-FACTOR BALANCING TEST
1. Purpose & character of use
Nonprofit educational more likely fair than
commercial; “transformativeness” dominates.
2. Nature of copyrighted work
More likely fair if you’re using factual or
scholarly work.
3. Amount and substantiality
Size & importance of portion used in
relation to whole.
4. Effect on potential market
Less likely fair if use supplants market for
purchasing/licensing original.

28. American Institute of Physics License Agreement
Authorized Users may use the Licensed Materials to perform and
engage in text and/or data mining activities for academic research,
scholarship, and other educational purposes and may utilize and share
the findings of text and/or data mining, but not the text or data itself, in
their scholarly work and make the findings available for use by others,
so long as it does not create a product for use by third parties that
would substitute for the Licensed Materials.
29. PubMed Central Restrictions on Systematic Downloading of Articles
Bulk downloading of articles from the main PMC web site, in any way, is
prohibited because of copyright restrictions.
PMC has two auxiliary services that may be used for automated retrieval
and downloading of a special subset of articles from the PMC archive. These
two services, the PMC OAI service and the PMC FTP service, are the only
services that may be used for automated downloading of articles in PMC.
Articles that are available through the PMC OAI and FTP services are still
protected by copyright but are distributed under a Creative Commons or
similar license that generally allows more liberal use than a traditional
copyrighted work. Please refer to the license statement in each article for
specific terms of use. The license terms are not identical for all the articles.

38. - Protect the people in the work
- Federal (e.g. FERPA & HIPAA)
- State (e.g. intrusion, private facts, false
light, appropriation of likeness)
Important Limitations:
- Death
- Unidentifiable
- Newsworthiness
- Permission
41. An approach to consider:
Does the value to
researchers, the public, or
cultural communities
outweigh the potential for
harm or exploitation of
people, resources, or
knowledge?
