How to make your research accessible and support Open Access publishing
Some Journals have Open Access policies via a program called Research4Life, which is a UN-supported initiative that provides participating journals for free to qualified institutions. See if the journals you wish to publish in are part of this program and if they are not, encourage them to do so.
SPARC Author Addendum: [1]
- This addendum is intended to add onto a copyright agreement allowing the authors to retain copyright to their article and, therefore, do what they want with the article afterwards.

There’s a ton of information on the SPARC site:[2]

- Here is a PowerPoint from Laura Quilter at UMass that goes over some of the main points in a contract that are important: [[4]]
- Know your rights - don't sign them away
Your librarian is also an excellent resource on these questions!
