About the topic

Publishers often require authors to sign exclusive publishing agreements where you lose the rights to your work. UiO’s new Rights Retention Policy ensures that you retain the rights to share and use your accepted manuscript (AAM) freely. It also gives you the opportunity to choose which channels to publish in, while still being compliant to open access requirements. A groundbreaking policy, first adopted by Harvard in 2008, recently more than 80 institutions worldwide have adopted similar policies, including Norway’s four largest universities.

In this talk, experts from the Open Research team at the University of Oslo Library will present the institutional rights retention policy, a part of UiO’s new strategy for open access. They will explain the radical new approach to keeping authors’ rights to their work, ensuring that you can publish where you like while being compliant to OA requirements, with a minimal amount of administration.

Grab you matpakke and join us for short presentation on Rights Retention Policy from our invited guests, and for an open Q&A session afterwards!
