    Publishing Resources

    Whether you're a student, teacher, or professional, publishing is a critical activity that advances the field of HF/E. Students need to be informed of plagiarism and copyright issues while producing papers and pursuing research related to their degree. Teachers need to educate students about these issues, while at the same time publishing their own research findings. Professionals apply this research daily at work and publish their own articles and research.

      Copyright Infringement

    • Copyright infringement (or copyright violation) is "the unauthorized use of material which is covered by copyright law, in a manner that violates one of the original copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works that build upon it." (Wikipedia)

    • Academic publishing describes "the subfield of publishing that distributes academic research and scholarship. Most academic work is published in journal article or book form. Much, though not all, academic publishing relies on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication." (Wikipedia)

      Peer Review

    • Peer review (known as refereeing in some academic fields) is "a process of subjecting an author's scholarly work or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the field." (Wikipedia)
