Retain Your Rights, Even in the Academy.
Saturday, 13 July, 2019
How academic authors can help themselves and the cause of author's rights by retaining their copyright, and demanding a royalty for the use of their work. The days of truly not-for-profit educational publishing are over, so why are you gifting your work to the academy?
