COS Expertise® Copyright Policy

Our copyright policy respects the value of the contributions made by individual researchers to COS.

CSA grants copyright to individual researchers for their own record in the COS Expertise database. Using the web address at the bottom of each COS Expertise record, individual scientists can link to their own COS Expertise record from their webpage, and allow their colleagues to directly access their professional profile.

CSA owns the copyright to the aggregated COS Expertise database, and reserves all rights thereto. COS may grant a copyright to universities, societies, or other organizations for their own "views" of a subset the COS Expertise database.
