Non-Traditional Research Outputs (NTROs)
Copyright considerations for non-traditional outputs from research can be different to research publications such as articles and conference papers:
- Are any agreements in place that may affect copyright ownership? (e.g., employment, publishing, funding, etc.)
- What type of copyright or trade-marked materials are you wanting to use? (e.g., company logos in a report)
- How are any third-party materials being incorporated? (e.g., a sculpture covered in images from magazines)
- How is the output being represented, and what is the copyright/ownership in these representations? (e.g., someone else taking the photograph of your output)
- Is the output stand-alone or part of another research output? (e.g., a visual representation of someone else's concept or data)
For more information around copyright considerations for non-traditional outputs from research, see Understanding Copyright - Non-Traditional Research Outputs (PDF).

Note that the University reserves the term 'NTRO' for outputs that have been approved by the NTRO Committee - see the NTRO Guidelines.
Our institutional repository Open Research Newcastle may be able to help you promote your non-traditional output - reach out to the Scholarly Publishing team.
