Exclamation copyright violations reminder!
just bumping this up FYI as we are seeing a number of members not attributing, citing and source linking, which is often a violation of copyright

we used to have a very relaxed approach to this till we started getting complaints from authors/publications etc

please could all be sure to cite, source and link correctly so that we adhere to correct protocol on this

Quote:
1/
always cite the source and author

2/
give a URL link to the source wherever possible

3/
dont copy and paste the WHOLE piece, but instead give only the abstract, or snips from the piece and then the link so that others can follow it to read the whole
thanks
Cheri
