Own Your Work: The Impact of Copyright When You Publish

Everything you write for publication is your intellectual property--you own the copyright--yet many publishers ask you to sign over your copyright to them. Find out how you can retain some or all of your copyright when you publish, even in prestigious publications. Retaining your rights allows you to reuse and share your work more freely and often results in higher visibility of your work and more citation counts. This workshop is presented by Jody Bailey, Director of Publishing, UTA Libraries.
