Rights Retention - Open Access - LibGuides at University of Derby

"We want to ensure that all of our researchers feel empowered to publish wherever they choose. We have expertise in the library and colleagues who can provide advice and guidance around rights retention, creative commons and matters relating to copyright. See the help and support tab of this guide for further information.

Please consult the University Guidance Note on Rights Retention which provides further information on when and how to invoke this simple yet effective strategy. The Rights Retention principles of the revised Research Publication and Open Access Policy and the revised student and staff Intellectual Property Policies, come into effect on 1 October 2024."
