The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) has published the second in its series of
How-to Guides: 'How to License Research Data' by Alex Ball of the DCC, in
association with JISC Legal. The guide explains why licensing data is
important, what licensing options are available to researchers, and how to go
about attaching a licence to a dataset.
The DCC's How-to Guides offer practical introductions for those who need more
than the high-level basic awareness given in DCC briefing papers, but less than
the in-depth coverage given in the Curation Reference Manual. This guide is
aimed at principal investigators, researchers, and those who provide access to
research data through a data centre, repository or archive.
'How to License Research Data' is available for online reading or download
