Researchers should assert their intellectual rights

It allows researchers to reuse and share their work as they see fit, making it immediately accessible to the widest possible audience.

A framework for collaborative doctoral education within Europe
The Bologna Process and the Salzburg principles have inspired European consensus about the aims of doctoral education. However, their implementation has differed widely and international collaboration in doctoral programmes is challenging. This article introduces the ORPHEUS (Organisation for PhD Education in Biomedicine and Health Sciences in the European System) Best Practices for PhD training and proposes a framework for doctoral education that is both sufficiently flexible to allow for diversity and robust enough to allow for collaboration.
