ISSA is also pleased to announce that SAGE Publications has recently implemented a new contributor’s publishing agreement form, which enables authors of articles to publish under an exclusive license while retaining copyright of their work. We believe that this is a positive development, responding to ongoing debates regarding the rights of authors to make use of their own work, and enables the implementation of best practice in publishing standards.
