The concluding part of two articles to help you understand what you’re signing up toLast week, Funding Insight resurrected the first part of Stephanie Harris’s primer in contracts, written with the understanding that a contract is “an integral part of a research project, and it’s always a good idea if the researchers leading that project have had a good look at it”. This week, we publish the second of this pair of articles, which clarifies publication clauses and “the contractual elephants in the room: warranty, indemnity and liability”. While most of what is written here is widely relevant, readers outside the UK should be aware that the author works in that jurisdiction.
