WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Publishing your work (whether it’s photography, research, drawing, notes, TFG, thesis, etc.) in an open way means making your material available to the public: anyone can reuse it, always recognizing your authorship, without needing to ask for permission.

GET TO KNOW CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES (which we prefer at URJC)

To publish in an open way, you can use Creative Commons licenses (CC), which warn in advance that your material can be used under certain conditions. From URJC, we recommend two:

CC-BY: Attribution (BY), meaning that whoever uses your material must ALWAYS mention you as the author http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es

CC-BY-SA: Attribution-Share Alike (SA), meaning that, in addition to mentioning authorship, any derived work must be shared with a similar license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.es

These licenses allow anyone to use, share, modify, even for commercial purposes, the material you have released.

ADDING THE LICENSE TO YOUR MATERIAL

Simply writing the license in your material makes it free. You must add the license text or icons in a visible place on one of the first pages, along with the link to the CC website where it is explained in more detail.

For example:

This work is distributed under the license: CC-BY-SA 4.0

Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International of Creative Commons. Available at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.es

By simply writing this, your material is already free! But for it to be really shared, it’s necessary to upload it to a repository like BURJC or TV-URJC.
