New Video on Author's Rights

Watch this two-minute flash video entitled "Author's Rights" to learn more about managing your rights as an author. The video was released by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, in cooperation with the Association of College and Research Libraries and the Association of Research Libraries. It gives a nice overview of the issues you may want to keep in mind when signing a publishing agreement when your article is accepted by a journal.

To retain more of your rights for future control of your intellectual property, the UW-Madison Faculty Senate has endorsed using this Addendum to Publication Agreements for CIC Authors.
