Dear Fatimah, corpora readers,<br><br>The question really does concern what is and what is not public, as Mike said earlier.<br>Independently of who has done the research, or who has paid for it, if the work has been published (in the widest sense, including conference presentations, working papers, e-prints as well as paper-print journals and books) then anyone can do what they want with it... provided that they cite the source.<br>
<br>If the work has *not* been published, but has been made available in confidence (to supervisors, journal editors, peer reviewers, etc) and is then published - presumably without the permission of nor reference to the original author - then that would almost certainly be illegitimate. One exception would be if the research is part of a larger project in which work is expected to be shared between participants in that project.<br>
<br>Unfortunately plagiarism happens, and the victims are usually young/beginning researchers who do not yet have a network of colleagues to defend their interests. I sincerely hope your question was just theoretical.<br>

IN my opinion, yes. If you make something public (publishing) you
cannot pick & choose who will use that idea or those data.
Similarly you cannot have back a gift once given. <br>
