For the Future…Be aware of copyright issues when you are
seekingpublicationDid you know that when you seek publication, the
copyright release form often signs the rights to your work over to the publisher?
When working with publishers, you can negotiate your copyright so that you have the right to self-archive or otherwise distribute your work; see the SPARC Author Addendum
Protecting your rights as an author allows you greater flexibility with forthcoming publications
Open Access“Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online,
free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions” (http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm)
Open access increases the availability of your academic work to the research community
Prioritized indexing of T-Space content by Google and other search engines improves visibility and citation impact – more people will read your work
Granting Councils are increasingly mandating wide dissemination of funded research outputs. CIHR and ERIC now require institutional open access archiving of publications; SSHRC supports open access in principle.
