Commercial publishers have taken so many bites of the apple there is nothing left. We've heard about at least one university press who is now reaching back out to previously-published book authors and seeing if they want to make their decade-old book open access (for a significant fee). I know this has been discussed before, but it would be much preferred if authors could build in a reversion clause to get the rights back to their articles/books, so they can then do what they want with their works after some initial period of exclusivity with the publisher. tim On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 10:02 AM Swift, Allegra < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I just worked with an author willing to review his agreement and he even > had his original 2009 and 2011 contracts that the retrospective OA referred > to. > > > > Has anyone else come across these and with any other publisher?
