Publications and Copyright Policy
The 5X社区视频鈥檚 Publications and Copyright Policy empowers authors to retain the rights to their research and scholarship.
From 1st October 2023, the 5X社区视频’s new Publications and Copyright Policy applies to research articles and conference proceedings accepted for publication.
The policy aims to enable researchers at the 5X社区视频 to disseminate their research and scholarship as widely as possible, to achieve the greatest impact and to retain their rights on subsequent reuse (rights that are often transferred to a publisher when signing a contract).
For more information, please refer to the FAQs below or contact the Library team at sro@sussex.ac.uk. A short Library blog post provides some context, and our Open Research & Education page details our commitments.
