STM Conversation on Author rights
Publisher copyright agreements. Why these are needed and what researchers/authors and their institutions and funders should know about them.
Background:
Authors automatically have rights in the works they write as their creators, but these may be subject to requirements from their institutions, funders and/or publishers to assign or license those rights to them. As an example, institutions may put this in an employment contract, funders may put it in a grant agreement and publishers may have a copyright transfer or licensing agreement as a precondition to publishing.
In this moderated conversation, we will talk about topics such as why authors are asked by publishers to sign a copyright agreement and the different varieties of agreements that they might encounter.
Who should attend: All involved in scholarly publishing: Authors, researchers, reviewers, funders, librarians
Free to attend.

Welcome by Caroline Sutton, CEO, STM
