Authors have rights over their intellectual property. They have the ability
to transfer or retain full (or partial) rights that influence the dissemination
and utilization of their publications in teaching and research.
The University of California, Irvine Senate Assembly has passed a resolution
encouraging faculty members to retain copyright in original scholarship to
insure the widest dissemination possible of materials used to further education
and research
• Joint
Resolution on Scholarly Communication and Faculty Copyrights
There are some simple steps that faculty may take to retain their intellectual
property rights.
• Sample contract modification language
• UC
Office of Scholarly Communication - Copyright Addendum Language (what
you can do ideally and at minimum)
• SPARC Author's Addendum language
• Author Rights
(SPARC Resource for Authors)
Scholarly Communication and Management Program (SCAMP), will work with faculty
to develop copyright workshops and consultations, educational materials on
copyright, standard language for use in publisher’s contracts, copyright
management programs, and other support services to facilitate the widest dissemination
and use of scholarly materials
