Open Alternatives
One alternative to signing away the rights to your research and writing is to publish your work openly. There are many ways of doing this,
including in peer-reviewed open access journals. The reality, however, is that the tenure and promotion process, coupled with the entrenched
practices of scholarly publishing, does not encourage and makes it very difficult for many scholars across the disciplines (though there are
exceptions) to publish openly. For more information on open access publishing, please visit the Open Access section of this guide.
