What is Rights Retention and how can I apply it?

Answer

Rights retention allows authors to publish in their journal of choice, including subscription journals, while retaining the right to share their articles without embargo on an institutional repository or elsewhere. The author retains copyright of the accepted manuscript (by including a rights retention statement on the submission, for example). They can then deposit the accepted manuscript in a repository without embargo, under a Creative Commons licence.
