Fair dealing for criticism and review in scholarly publishing

UK Copyright law (CAPD 1988) defines the requirements for qualification for copyright protection in the UK and for many of the permitted acts. A defen ce against infringement of copyright is provided for under the terms of fai r dealing for the Purposes of criticism and review, but use of this defence must be assessed on the nature and extent of the use of copyright material in each case. Industry practice and guidelines exist for use of some text material, but not for the fair dealing we of other copyright material such as images and artwork, the inclusion of which was a major change in the CAP D 1988 act from earlier UK copyright acts.
