A short introduction to this landmark policy effective from 1st July 2023.
What is rights retention?
Rights retention ensures researchers retain their original rights to work published in a journal, conference article or book chapter. The new policy ensures that authors have control over the dissemination of their work.
Using rights retention automatically permits the University to disseminate scholarly Author Accepted Manuscripts (AAMs) with a Creative Commons CC BY Licence in the repository. This is permitted from the date of first online publication and no publisher embargo is required.
In cases where exceptional circumstances warrant a temporary embargo or restricted access, Swansea University will provide flexibility to researchers who are permitted to opt-out.
You can find out more about the policy via the website which includes FAQs and a quick workflow diagram.

• How the requirements of rights retention intersect with working with collaborating authors.
• There will be opportunities to ask questions.
