Register for Town Hall on rights retention (12:00-1:30pm on 17 January 2024)
Rights retention is an initiative that allows researchers to retain the rights to their work even after it is published. This supports sharing work through open access channels.
The University is looking to update its Open Access Publications Policy in Trinity Term 2024 to incorporate rights retention. The policy update follows on from the launch of a rights retention pilot in January 2023 and review by the University’s Research & Innovation Committee in October 2023.
The update involves changing the University Statute XVI covering intellectual property rights: by virtue of their employment and without requiring any action on their part, employees at the University would provide the rights to make author accepted manuscript versions of their articles and conference proceedings available under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence (CC BY 4.0) at the point of publication. Authors wishing to opt-out will be able to do so on a work-by-work basis
If you want to understand what this change is about, please register for the town hall event.
