RE: Copyright of scientific research articles on Steemit
It is not a good idea to directly quote material or reproduce figures from a non open access publication. However discussing an articles findings in your own words, with out reproducing anything is fine. Just cite your sources and your good to go.
Hey @justtryme90,
as I pointed out in response to lemouth, the distinction is what is giving me a headache. Not even at university we are allowed to reproduce figures of closed source publications, but the "re-telling" matter and the commercial use made me a bit (over)cautious. I would like to thank you as well for your response, as any insight on this matter calms my nerves!
