Moral Rights
You must acknowledge the source of any material that you reproduce or communicate. This is a legal right of copyright owners called 'moral rights'. This right concerns a creator's reputation in connection with his/her work. The rights provided are to be attributed or credited correctly in relation to a work and to object to the derogatory treatment of a work. This means correctly citing your source, not owning it yourself or incorrectly citing someone else. If the source is unknown, even after attempts to find out who owns it (e.g. the material has been passed to you by another academic or has historically been in the faculty for some time, and the source has not been recorded) indicate 'Copyright owner unknown. All reasonable attempts have been made to identify them. If you are the copyright owner or know who they are please advise us'.
