Can you legally reuse and share your own work?
Retaining Rights & Increasing the Impact of Your Research: Information for MIT authors
Technology enables broad, swift, and convenient communication of research, offering authors the promise of increased visibility, as well as flexible reuse, storage, and access to their work.
Many publishers have created barriers to this promise.
By regaining control of their own work and collaborating with other stakeholders, faculty and researchers can create an improved system without compromising the shared values of the academic community.
The MIT faculty took a dramatic step towards this improved system on March 18, 2009, when they voted unanimously to make their articles openly available through MIT’s DSpace repository.
