For faculty authors who want to know how to create an addendum to your publication agreement in order to retain access and distribution rights.
Want to retain rights over your soon to be published journal article? You can use the SPARC Author Addendum to amend the journal’s publication agreement.
SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) is an international alliance of libraries working to correct imbalances in the scholarly publishing system.
To learn how to use the author addendum and obtain more information on author rights, see the SPARC author web page
These links are also now available on our library’s Faculty Services page: see the heading “Author’s Copyright Addendum”
