ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND COPYRIGHT ISSUES

Academic or scholarly research focuses on research objectives / questions from independent researchers. It uses formal, scientific and systematic processes to find answers. Many different types of content can be protected by copyright. Examples include books, poems, plays, songs, films and a work of art. In modern times, copyright protection has been extended to websites and other online content.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND COPYRIGHT ISSUES

MEANING OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH

Academic research is defined as a "systematic investigation of a problem or situation, in which the purpose is to identify facts and / or ideas that will help solve the problem or deal with the situation". This academic or scholarly research focuses on research objectives / questions from independent researchers. It uses formal, scientific and systematic processes to find answers. Scholar research is guided by existing theories to refute or support this view.

The term ‘research’ is used in so many different ways in our daily lives, from our quest for customer information to writing PhD level research, in problem-solving at work. Research is a systematic process of collecting, analysing and interpreting data to better understand something we like or care about. It is a long, focused, specific, comprehensive, collectible and informative process, and it is not just a collection of information, it is the transmission of facts from one place to another and you want information.

ISSUES FACED IN ACADEMIC RESEARCH

  1. Lack of Scientific Training: The research methodology is informal. Many researchers are doing research work without actually knowing the research methods. Even directors do not have extensive knowledge of the various methods. Before undertaking research projects, researchers should be well-equipped with all aspects of the approach.
  2. Lack of communication with the principal: A university professor is a busy person. It is important to have guidance on a research project. Poor communication goes in the direction of research progress. It is important to contact a manager to clarify doubts about the research topic, to know what the manager expects from you and to learn more about your research topic.
  3. Time management: Spending enough time to learn skills and practice is time consuming. In such a case, taking the time to do in-depth research and making high-quality research paper becomes difficult.
  4. Lack of time: The end times are stressful. But not having a deadline can be a problem between a Ph.D. the trip. Deadlines help you get closer to your goals. Too often, Universities fail to use the proper date for submitting the research paper, leading to confusion and poor time management among student.
  5.  Quantity of literature: It can be difficult to deal with the number of books a person may have received. Book reviews are repeated. These include document management, access to information that supports the research framework, identifying keywords and other keywords, and constantly searching for new sources.
  6.  Use of writing quality within book reviews: Book reviews should go beyond a series of references and references. You need to interpret the texts and be able to put them in the context of your study. This requires careful translation and writing and balance as you combine and integrate what you have learned.
  7. Insufficient data: Lack of data is a potential problem. Most business institutions are of the opinion that researchers may misuse the information provided by them. This affects the purpose of research studies where that particular data may be more important.
  8.  Lack of confidence: Lack of self-confidence is one of the most common problems for investigators. Investigators with low self-esteem feel uncomfortable and thus affect the quality of work.
  9.  Worry that your focus is still too wide or too small: This anxiety is inevitable. Be prepared to align your research as you look in the literature. This may require increasing your concentration or reducing your research. The broader focus of research can be reduced by adding a relevant context or by seeking alternatives to the research question or by focusing on a theoretical view.
  10.  Library management: Library management and performance is unsatisfactory in many Universities; A lot of time and energy is spent on following relevant books, journals, reports, etc. Also, many libraries are unable to obtain copies of new reports and other published publications on time.

MEANING OF COPYRIGHT

Copyright is a legal way to protect an author's work. It is a type of intellectual property that entitles the copyright, distribution, and use of the author. This means that any content the author has created will not be used or published by anyone else without the author's permission. The length of copyright protection may vary from country to country, but usually the author's life span is between 50 and 100 years.

Many different types of content can be protected by copyright. Examples include books, poems, plays, songs, films and a work of art. In modern times, copyright protection has been extended to websites and other online content. Therefore, any original content published on the web is protected by copyright law. This is important in the digital age in which we live, because much of the content can be easily copied and pasted.

COPYRIGHT IN INDIA

Copyright Act, 1957 provides for copyright protection in India. It provides copyright protection in the following two types:

(A) The economic rights of the author, and

(B) Author's Moral Rights.

(A) ECONOMIC RIGHTS

Copyright applies to the original works of literature, drama, music and art; cinematographs films and sound recordings. Copyright holders of the above-mentioned works enjoy the economic rights of under section 14 of the Act. Copyright, in particular, in terms of literature, drama and music, without a computer program, reproducing the work in any tangible way involves storing it in any form by electronic means, copying the work for the public, to make the work public or public, to make any cinematograph film or audio recording in relation to the work, and to perform any translation or modification of the work.

In the case of a computer program, the author enjoys more of the above-mentioned rights, the right to sell or lease, or to offer to sell or lease any copy of the computer program whether that copy has been sold or provided for rent in the past. In the case of a work of art, the rights available to the author include the right to reproduce the work in any material way, including displaying three-dimensional or three-dimensional work, communicating or news copies of the work to the public, uploading the work to any cinematograph, and making or any job.

In the case of a cinematograph film, the author enjoys the right to make a copy of the film including a photograph of any image that forms part of it, to sell or offer to rent or offer to sell or rent, any copy of the film, and to contact the public about the film. These rights are equally available to the audio recording recorder. In addition to the above-mentioned rights, the author of painting, sculpture, painting or manuscript of writing, theatre or music, if he or she was the original copyright holder, will have the right to share.

(B) MORAL RIGHTS

Section 57 of the Act defines the fundamental 'moral rights of the author. These are:

Right of paternity, and

The right to integrity.

Paternity means the author's right to claim ownership of the work and the right to prevent all others from claiming ownership of his work. The right to integrity gives the author the power to prevent distortion, cutting or other modification of his work, or any action taken in connection with the stated work, which may be detrimental to his or her reputation and reputation.

The provision of section 57 (1) provides that the author shall not be entitled to prevent or seek damages in respect of any modification of the computer system in which section 52 (1) (aa) applies (e.g. reverse engineering of the same)

It should be noted that failure to present the work or to present it to the satisfaction of the author shall not be construed as a breach of the rights granted by this section. The author's legal representatives may exercise the rights granted to the author of the work by section 57 (1), without the right to claim ownership of the work.

 

ENFORCEMENT OF COPYRIGHT IN INDIA

The law of copyright in India not only provides for civil remedies in the form of permanent injunction, damages or accounts of profits, delivery of the infringing material for destruction and cost of the legal proceedings. etc. but also makes instances of infringement of copyright, a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months but which may extend to three years with a fine which shall not be less than Rs 50,000 (approx. US$ 800) but may extend to Rs 2,00,000 (approx. US$ 3,000).

For the second and subsequent offences, there are provisions for enhanced fine and punishment under the Copyright Act. The (Indian) Copyright Act, 1957 gives power to the police authorities to register the Complaint (First Information Report, i.e, FIR) and act on its own to arrest the accused, search the premises of the accused and seize the infringing material without any intervention of the court.

COPYRIGHT ISSUES

Copyright is a type of intellectual property that works in a work of art. It is a legal right that gives special rights to the creator of the original work to use and distribute. It must be updated from time to time. The problem with copyright is that it only protects the expression of ideas by the creator and not the basic idea. Literary works, music or art (restrictive images) are granted copyright protection for a period that covers the life of the creator and 60 years from the year of the author's death. Businesses of all kinds - from e-commerce companies to software, to the advancement of health sciences, to manufacturing and publishing businesses - have their own histories from the ideas and creativity of their founders, historical and local objects, market structures and so on.

However, despite all the different points, companies end up having a lot in common. This can be especially true in the case of publishing companies. For example, have you ever posted a photo or video on a website, only to have it downloaded due to copyright issues? Copyright issues include copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement using copyright-protected works without prior permission, infringes certain specific rights granted to the copyright owner, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform secure work. In the case of the Internet, anything you remove from the web is copyrighted. Just because it doesn't have the mark itself doesn't mean it's not the first part of the job.

HOW TO AVOID INFRINGEMENT ISSUES

1) Copyright law: A person must have full details of the law. This will be useful when you will be able to distinguish between cheating and actual copying. If someone writes something about your work but gives you the right credit, you can't put him or her under a scanner. You should also have the ability to test what copyright does not protect. Therefore, legal knowledge is required if you want to protect your work effectively.

2) Creativity: One has to be creative enough to make sure that one does not build something that already exists online. While copyright does not protect the basic idea but fictional characters, the issue of news and popularity is protected. Therefore, the art lamp should be very bright.

 3) Know the differences between different mental structures: There is a legal difference between a patent, a trademark and a patent. Copyright protects your creative work, the trademark grants you exclusive rights over the logo, logo or name, and the patent does not include others in the production or commercial invention. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge of intellectual property types plays an important role in addressing various copyright issues.

Therefore, copyright comes with many obligations. Copyright is not only a shield for you but you should also make sure that you do not cross the line and accuse someone of cheating based on your fears.

CONCLUSION

Access to copyrighted content and new information is required in the education community to keep abreast of new developments and to do the next generation of first-time work. Access to information alone is a human right. On the other hand, the protection of economic rights to copyrighted content and moral rights is also the rights of the creators of content. These two rights must be balanced. Copyright law as a social law seeks to justify this.

The exceptions and restrictions attached to patents are designed to protect the public interest from accessing services and disseminating information. Unauthorized use of another person's work that is contrary to the law is not a fair use. Good co-operation is especially important for non-commercial and educational activities. Since the patent is based on the automatic defence clause under the Berne Convention, 39 and no registration procedures are required 40 without the minimum legal requirements, in order to enjoy and exercise copyright, users and investigators must be extremely careful.

Like researchers and writers, members of the academic community must be careful to protect their copyright in their creative activities; at the same time they have a responsibility and responsibility to respect the rights of others, giving them the resources to create more art.

This work of honouring writers and their works is part and parcel of the academic integrity. Academic integrity and honesty transcend a limited period of legal copyright and any deviation from the stated integrity is not just an act of cheating but is the basis for the death of academic intelligence
