You are invited to an event in the Information Interventions @ CUNY series:
You Know What You Write, But Do You Know Your Rights?
Understanding and Protecting Your Rights As an Author
When you publish a journal article, you sign a copyright agreement. Do you know what you’re agreeing to when you sign it? Different journals have different policies:
- Some journals require you to relinquish your copyright. (You then have to ask permission or even pay to share your article with students and colleagues!)
- Some journals allow you to retain some rights (e.g., the right to post online).
- Some journals leave copyright in your hands. (You simply give the journal a non-exclusive license to publish the article.)
How can you find out a journal’s policy? How can you negotiate your contract to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, and author? Come learn how to preserve your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create.
And what about articles you’ve already published? What did you sign when you were publishing them? Bring agreements you signed in the past, and we’ll examine what you agreed to, as well as what options you have now for altering the terms.
