Protecting Your Intellectual Property

As an author, you are also a copyright holder! It's important for you to know what rights you control for your work, and consider what rights publishers might need before signing any publishing agreements. Many publishing agreements require a complete transfer of copyright from you to the publisher, which means that you no longer have the ability to use your own work without permission.

For more information about publishing agreements, visit SPARC Author Rights & SPARC Author Addendum
