Return to resources on rights retention

 

This table is a work in progress. These links were submitted by respondents to our Rights Retention policy survey first distributed February 2026.  If you would like us to add the information for your institution please complete the survey or email contact@oaaustralasia.org

From current respondents to the survey it is possible to see that many institutions do not yet have an established approach to rights retention. It is a highly complex area so this is not surprising. Hopefully by sharing the work we are doing we can help each other.
