Scholarly works and retaining your rights. 

Rights retention in scholarly works ensures:

1. Your scholarly work is more visible and discoverable, leveraging existing investment via the Research Profiles and Repository. 
2. Authors or universities retain the right to make scholarly works open access and authors can benefit from a potential citation advantage
3. Increased compliance with institutional open access policies
4. Improved researcher compliance with funder open access policies
5. Clearer communication of reuse rights via consistent licensing
