License for Works

By voluntarily completing the Licence for Works document, students allow BMSC to make their Work (report, poster, video etc.)  available upon request to other researchers and students. Student works will not be available on BMSC’s online library catalogue.

Signing a Licence for Works does not preclude students from publishing their Work. If students anticipate publishing in Nature or Science, BMSC will embargo the Work until after it is published.
