Contributing to ParlText
If you would like to contribute, the details below set out how the process works and what it means for your data and your credit.
How Contributions Work
Contributors supply data that is integrated into ParlText according to shared coding standards and included in official dataset releases. By contributing, you grant ParlText a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, adapt, and publish your data as part of the database. You retain full intellectual property rights over your original data. ParlText may clean, restructure, and integrate contributions to ensure consistency and interoperability across the database.
Access and Licensing
All published versions of ParlText are openly available under a Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) licence, ensuring free access for research and teaching while preserving the non-commercial character of the project. Once data has been included in a published release, that release remains permanently available.
Attribution and Authorship
Contributors are acknowledged as members of the ParlText team. Where a contributor’s data is included in a published edition, they are listed as co-authors on scholarly publications whose primary purpose is to present or document the database.
Withdrawal
Contributors may withdraw their data at any time. The withdrawal will be applied starting the next available version of the dataset. Attribution applies only for as long as the contribution remains part of the project.
