Submitting to Publishers

When submitting to publishers, it's important to check each journal's requirements for submission guidelines. You can often find these on their websites, or while you're searching through various journal finders and suggesters.

Copyright

It is important for authors to understand their rights in regard to their academic outputs before they sign contracts with publishers or publish in open access journals where authors will need to assign Creative Commons licenses to their work to ensure that others do use it in inequitable ways. Here are some resources to help begin to understand more about copyright.
