    Final Report of IUPUI Public Access to Research Data Working Group
    (2022-04) Baich, Tina; Ben Miled, Zina; Berbari, Nick; Chu, Gabe; Coates, Heather; Erkins, Esther; Friesen, Amanda; Guiliano, Jen; Han, Jiali; Organ, Jason; Yoon, Ayoung
    In light of the movement towards greater access to and transparency in research, the Association of American Universities (AAU) and Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) convened gatherings in October 2018 and February 2020 to provide a venue for learning, sharing, and planning (campus roadmaps) to support research universities in creating and implementing strategies and systems to provide public access to research data. At the request of Vice Chancellor of Research Janice Blum, Heather Coates and Tina Baich attended the February 2020 gathering. The primary goals of the 2020 convening were to identify best practices, where they exist, to develop a Guide to Accelerating Public Access to Research Data at Academic Institutions (now available here), and to develop a strategic plan for AAU and APLU to drive future actions. As a result, Coates and Baich proposed that the Vice Chancellor for Research convene a working group to further this work on the IUPUI campus. Vice Chancellor Blum charged the Public Access to Research Data Working Group (PARDWG) with investigating the current landscape of data sharing at IUPUI and creating a plan to increase awareness and provide education of campus stakeholders around public access to research data. Working Group members were invited to ensure broad representation of disciplines, acknowledging that data sharing happens differently in different disciplines.

    Legal and ethical considerations around the use of existing illustrations to generate new illustrations in the anatomical sciences
    (Wiley, 2025) Cornwall, Jon; White, Richard; Pennefather, Patrick; Hildebrandt, Sabine; Gregory, Jill; Smith, Heather F.; Organ, Jason; Krebs, Claudia; Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology, School of Medicine
    It is likely existing anatomical illustrations are often used as the basis for new illustrative works, given not all illustrators have access to human tissues, bodies, or prosections on which to base their illustrations. Potential issues arise with this practice in the realms of copyright infringement and plagiarism when authors are seeking to publish, a matter becoming more prevalent with the proliferation in publishing platforms and the increased adoption of generative artificial intelligence applications within academia. However, there is little published guidance that might inform authors when using an existing illustration as the basis for new work. This article provides information pertaining to copyright, copyright infringement, fair use and fair dealings, plagiarism, and the overlap of copyright and plagiarism to highlight issues of law and ethics that are relevant to the creation of illustrations. Interestingly, the determination of exactly what constitutes an "original" illustration per construction from a secondary source has not been determined in case law for anatomy illustrations. This fact illuminates the absence of a "bright-line" test for illustration reproduction and the difficulties in the objective assessment of what constitutes a "nonoriginal" illustration. The term "substantively different" is useful for determining whether illustrations derived from secondary sources can be deemed original. This article delivers guidance on how to develop illustrations with reference to determining whether copyright has been breached or plagiarism has occurred. It also provides information that will direct decision-making around illustrative content.
