Description
Most scholars have a cursory understanding of copyright law and how it applies to their published scholarship. But many don't know that they have rights well before they're asked to sign copyright agreements and that they can use those rights to ensure versions of their works are shared openly, even when not publishing in open access venues. In this talk, Molly Keener, Director of Digital Initiatives & Scholarly Communication at Wake Forest University, will give a mini "Copyright 101" primer before looking at common rights clauses in publishing contracts, breaking down how author rights can be exercised to maximize discoverability of scholarship, and identifying resources that scholars can use to make confident determinations of their rights as authors.
