Material from my scientific papers

Some part of this website include figures, abstracts or short extracts from papers I have authored or co-authored, whether published, under review or at other editorial stages. This material is not covered by the license above. Published work remains subject to the copyright and license terms of the respective publisher, and work not yet published may become so once it is. If you wish to reuse it, please cite the original paper and refer to its publisher’s terms.

Third-party material

Some posts of my blog include material by other authors, like here. This material is not covered by the license above and remains under its own terms, stated in the caption next to it.

AI-generated images

Some illustrations are generated with AI tools from my prompts, and each post says so. Their legal status is unclear. In Italy, where this blog is written, copyright protects works created with the help of AI only if they result from the author’s own intellectual work, but the law does not define how much human contribution is enough (an overview in English). The US Copyright Office takes a similar view and considers prompts alone insufficient. These images may therefore not be protected by copyright at all. To the extent that they are, they are released under the same CC BY 4.0 license. I’m no expert on these matters, but some clarity would help, and they are already overdue.
