What is Open Access?
“Open Access Explained” video:http://youtu.be/L5rVH1KGBCY
What is Open Access?
Open Access publications are free for anyone with a connection to the open internet to “read, download, copy, distribute, [and] print.”
Authors retain “control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.”
- From the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002)
Open Access Options
• Publish in an open access journal • Publish in a conventional journal but
also publish your article in an online repository for a discipline (e.g., arXiv for physics) or an institution (e.g., Summit at SFU)
Ways To Retain Your Copyright
1) Publish in a journal that allows you to keep your rights
2) Negotiate with a publisher to keep all (or some) of your rights
Transferring Rights to a Publisher
• It is possible to grant only those rights to a publisher that they need to conduct their business – e.g., right to first publication
• Examples of rights that are negotiable: • Right to distribute your work on campus (to colleagues
and/or students)• Right to archive your work in an institutional repository• Right to use your work in your teaching• Right to post your work to a personal / professional
webpage
Retaining Your Rights
I’m not a lawyer, but …
Two common methods of negotiating additional rights:• Modifying the original copyright
agreement• Including an addendum

Digital rights management
http://xkcd.com/129/
Digital rights management is the name given to a set of technologies used by publishers of digital content (like music, video, or electronic texts) to control the ways in which content consumers (like library users) are able to use information.
(Puckett, 2010, p.11)
Puckett, J. (2010). Digital rights management as information access barrier. Progressive Librarian, 34-35, 11-24. Retrieved from http://www.progressivelibrariansguild.org/index.shtml
