Abstract
This two-part blog post is aiming to explain what Rights Retention is and how it works in practice. In the first part, I’ll explain the forces at play in the publishing industry, why copyright ownership in academia is so important and how the publishing process works. These are technicalities that must be explained beforehand for readers to easily understand the second part, in which I’ll explain how rights retention strategy was designed and implemented to limit the power differential between academic publishers and research funders and universities. I will also examine the effects of implementing this strategy.
