Does anything prevent you from publishing your work publicly after its been published in a journal or do you normally transfer all right of the work to the journal?
[edit] Reading further into the article, it appears that they don't retain rights after publication
> There is an alternative to this model. Plan S stated that researchers should be allowed to make their work freely available via a ‘rights retention strategy’: making it a condition of funding that authors retain their copyright over the peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted for publication.

- ModernMech 5y agoThere is a distinction between preprints and the papers published by IEEE. Typically IEEE will let you put the preprint up, but the finalized paper accepted and printed by the journal is off limits. Usually this just means the preprint is missing page numbers and has different margins.
- rscho 5y agoDepending on the field and journal, it may or may not be the case. In medicine for example, full copyright is systematically transferred to the publisher.
- PeterisP 5y agoSome journals require copyright transfer, some don't. However, another issue is that respected scientific journals generally publish only "novel research" - i.e. no matter if copyright allows you to publish it, if you have published it somewhere then it disqualifies you from publishing that work a "good place" afterwards. So the "good journal" has to be the first publication and sometimes even if you retain copyrights they require an "embargo" that you won't publish it elsewhere (e.g. on your institutional site) for a year or two.
