When submitting an article or book for publication, you are typically presented with a packet of paperwork. A portion of this paperwork will include a contract for copyright. Many authors don’t see any other option but to just sign copyright away. What if you had another choice? This presentation will address your rights as authors/creators as well as what you should look for when submitting your work to a journal for publication. During the session, we will discuss negotiating tactics for retaining copyright with examples of contract addenda from SPARC. We will also cover “self-archiving” – what it means, how to go about it, and how to find a journal’s policy about self-archiving.
