The Research 101 materials are published under a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

You are free to:

Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.

The Research 101 team cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms below.

Sharing and adaptation must take place under the following terms:

Attribution: You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

NonCommercial: You may not use the material, including the illustrations, for commercial purposes. Commercial purposes include any that generate income for you or your organisation, including selling printed copies of Research 101 materials, or charging people for Research 101 training.

NoDerivatives: If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material. Adaptations you might make to Research 101 materials could include: changing the name of the training course, changing elements of the proposed Research 101 activities to make them more relevant to your context; translating materials into a language other than English. You can make these changes, but you cannot then distribute the new materials beyond your own team – you cannot post them on a website, email copies to other researchers etc.

No additional restrictions: You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits. In plain English, this means that any copies of Research 101 that you share must be shared as freely as the originals. For example, you can’t print the original Research 101 slides, give them to someone, and then tell them they are not allowed to photocopy them. You do not have to comply with the license for elements of the material in the public domain or where your use is permitted by an applicable exception or limitation.

No warranties are given: The license may not give you all of the permissions necessary for your intended use. For example, other rights such as publicity, privacy, or moral rights may limit how you use the material.
