These rights consist of moral rights, which you can waive but not transfer, and economic rights, which you can transfer. In the publishing world it is almost inevitable that you transfer your copyright to the publisher, which can be a barrier to make your publication available in open access. Finding your way in the copyright and licensing landscape can be daunting and difficult. Authors who aren’t lawyers may not know exactly what the possibilities are in retaining (some) of these rights or requesting a change in the publisher's contract.
