Scholarly communication is an ongoing process that involves the creation, evaluation, dissemination and preservation of knowledge related to teaching, research and scholarship.
Copyright comprises a bundle of exclusive rights owned by the copyright holder. Its purpose is to protect content creators and owners, providing them with control over their work and the potential of a financial reward. Conversely, copyright is meant to promote creativity – by establishing a system for making use of others’ work – as well as the orderly exchange of ideas. Underlying data in copyright-protected works is not itself protected.
Research data management involves the active organization and maintenance of data throughout the research process, and suitable preservation of the data at the project’s completion. It is an on-going activity throughout the data lifecycle. The uOttawa Library is one of the campus RDM service providers that can help you.
uO Research is the University’s digital repository. An essential component of uOttawa’s scholarly communication system, it's a space for collecting, preserving and providing open access to research created by faculty, researchers and students.
