Open Access, retaining your copyright, + digital rights management

What is Open Access? “Open Access Explained” video:

What is Open Access? Open Access publications are free for anyone with a connection to the open internet to “read, download, copy, distribute, [and] print.” Authors retain “control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.” - From the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002)

Open Access Options Publish in an open access journal Publish in a conventional journal but also publish your article in an online repository for a discipline (e.g., arXiv for physics) or an institution (e.g., Summit at SFU)arXivSummit

Ways To Retain Your Copyright 1)Publish in a journal that allows you to keep your rights 2)Negotiate with a publisher to keep all (or some) of your rights

Transferring Rights to a Publisher It is possible to grant only those rights to a publisher that they need to conduct their business – e.g., right to first publication Examples of rights that are negotiable: Right to distribute your work on campus (to colleagues and/or students) Right to archive your work in an institutional repository Right to use your work in your teaching Right to post your work to a personal / professional webpage

Retaining Your Rights I’m not a lawyer, but … Two common methods of negotiating additional rights: Modifying the original copyright agreement Including an addendum

Modifying an agreement: An example From:

Including an addendum: An example The SPARC Canadian Author’s Addendum
