Copyright of Abstracts

Abstracts in the wiki bibliography are submitted by their authors who use the wiki to make their research as accessible as possible. However, abstracts have varying copyrights depending which publisher the work is published through. You should always use/cite abstracts according to fair use. You may also visit the publisher's website to learn about the specific copyright terms (e.g. ACM or Springer) or contact the author directly. Bottom line: Cite/use abstracts according to the principles of fair use as it may otherwise be construed as a copyright infringement and subject to legal action.

If you are the copyright owner of an abstract and you believe that your copyright has been infringed by an author - who has unrightfully included the abstract on his/her author page - you may solve the problem through these simple steps:

1. Go to the author's page
2. Find the publication/abstract and click "edit"
3. Erase the abstract and provide a brief explanation in the comment field
4. Click "submit for approval". Our editorial board will take care of the correction as soon as possible.
