The University of Nottingham Ningbo China introduced the Global University Publications Licence (GUPL) on 1 August 2019. The Global University Publications Licence 2.0 is available now.
The Global University Publications Licence (GUPL) ensures the University retains rights to research works created at the University. Authors retain copyrights to their own works and have the autonomy to licence non-exclusive rights in works to the University for the University Version of Record, and to assign rights to publishers, such as in journals and book publications.
