FYI, from Authors Alliance. https://authorsalliance.substack.com/p/read-your-open-access-publishing > publishing agreements do provide what many authors want in OA > publishing–free online access and broad reuse rights to users. But, if > authors select the wrong option, they are also giving away their own > residual rights while granting Elsevier or Wiley the *exclusive *right to > commercially exploit their work. That includes the right for those > publishers to exclude the author herself from making or authorizing even > the most basic of commercial uses, such as posting the article to a > for-profit repository like Researchgate or even SSRN. This is not a result > I think most authors intend, but it’s hard to spot the problem unless you > read these publication agreements carefully. -- Timothy Vollmer Scholarly Communication & Copyright Librarian University of California, Berkeley Doe Library, 189 Annex Berkeley, CA 94720 [log in to unmask] Pronouns: he/him
