In the research process, a team may seek opinions and accept guidance from other people. However, team members should have actually performed the research work by themselves and are expected to truly understand the content of their work. Methods and results of others used in the research should be documented in the references of the report. In any case, each participating team should observe the common standard of academic integrity adopted by most mathematics journals.
The Resource Center under the Executive Committee may organize activities from time to time in order to provide guidance and assistance to teams. Each team may participate according to their own needs. Further information about these activities will be announced through this website.
Copyright in the original work and results belongs to the student team members of the participating team and copyright in the works of winners of the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards shall be transferred to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (“IMS”) or its nominee. Winners who have transferred their rights to IMS may nonetheless be permitted to publish or otherwise use part or all of the works for personal non-commercial use only (i.e. for educational and scientific purposes, and to publish the Work on academic web pages). For any commercial use, the winners shall notify the Executive Committee of Hang Lung Mathematics Awards in writing and obtain their prior written approval
Before research report submission
• Before submission of the research report, the intellectual property right, if any, in the research and the report belongs to the student team members of the participating team. However, once the research report has been submitted, Hang Lung Properties Limited and the IMS will have certain rights over the copyright and other intellectual property rights that subsist in the research report and we urge all participants to read the information provided below carefully.
After research report submission
A team may change their submitted title and research plan from time to time according to the progress of the research. However, frequent changes are not encouraged as they seldom lead to substantive achievement. To carry out efficient and effective research, teams should aim to organize their research through a well-thought out plan.
