<h2>Nobody <strong>wants to care</strong> about copyright, but everyone <strong>has to</strong>.</h2>
</header>
<p>Research is tough. Critical comments from peers, rejections. When accepted, the article only gets published <strong>if</strong> you sign the license agreement. Re-negotiating is tedious and the agreement is the thing keeping you from publication—maybe even tenure. You sign it without considering the consequences. But the major consequence is that <strong>your work is now locked up</strong>, which directly affects the impact of your work. <a href='https://theconversation.com/princeton-goes-open-access-to-stop-staff-handing-all-copyright-to-journals-unless-waiver-granted-3596'>Princeton University has even opted to not let researchers handle copyright agreements, because of the consequences.</a></p>

<h2>Caring about research <strong>requires</strong> caring about copyright</h2>
</header>
<p>Doing research results in ideas and grows them into answers, but copyright sends those ideas and answers out into the world with all kinds of restrictions. This decreases the value of research. Additionally, it harms the research potential of the next generation. The next Einsteins already exist in Asia, Africa, and South-America, but they are less likely to fulfill their potential because of restrictions in access, sharing, and reuse.</p>

<div class="6u$ 12u$(medium)">
<header class="major">
<h2>If you want to read research, <strong>you already care</strong> about copyright</h2>
</header>
<p>Spreading knowledge is what education is about, and students want to read research (or need to, depending on their motivation). Copyright harms education directly. It harms both developing and developed countries, where restricted access or reuse limits the potential of education throughout all of society. Copyrighting research findings makes it illegal to share the origins of knowledge—which cannot be any researcher's intention when publishing, right?</p>

<h3>Check your rights <strong>before</strong> submitting your work.</h3>
<p>Prevent an unagreeable license agreement and check the publisher policy <i>before</i> you submit. <a href='http://libscie.org'>Liberate Science</a> inspected license agreements for 31 publishers for you, so you can make an informed decision. Researchers can prevent locking up of knowledge—will you help?</p>

<h2>What do we do?</h2>
</header>
<p>Free access to knowledge is vital to the creation of new knowledge because the old is reused in the new. Reuse is still problematic due to platform dependency, legal uncertainty, limited offering, limited quality, and non-harmonized content. <a href='http://libscie.org'>Liberate Science</a> aims to provide content in a legally safe way, free to reuse and build upon, in order to create the building blocks of the next generation of scholarly discovery. <br><br>First stop: liberating what can be liberated.</p>
