“You know what you write, but do you know your rights?”

Getting your work published is challenging and exhilarating, but going through the processes are sometimes like navigating a terrain with unknown peaks and pitfalls. Rules and rights are sometimes obscure in the growing open access world, and the new scientist needs a guide to understand some of the steps along the way. This session will present some important points for all prospective authors to know and kindred advice from four editors’ viewpoints.
