Unlocking Academic Research: How Secondary Publishing Rights Will Improve Access to Scholarly Works
In recent years, researchers have been pushing for a change in the way scholarly publishing works. Currently, the vast majority of academic journals require authors to sign away their copyright to the publisher, meaning they are unable to make their work freely available to the public.
Today, we are seeing progress in the form of secondary publishing rights - the ability for authors to retain copyright and make their work open access. This is an exciting development that will open up the world of academic research to everyone, and we are thrilled to see it come to fruition.
