Can I publish an article about my TLtC project in a journal that prohibits me from publishing related works?
No, a TLtC grant recipient acting alone cannot grant an exclusive right to a publisher for their use of a work without the consent of other joint owners, and in this case, without permission of the University. The University reserves the right to share information about TLtC projects on the TLtC Web site and in Webzine. Consequently, you should resist granting the publisher an exclusive license to use the work and/or assigning the copyright to the publisher. The publication practice of limiting the author’s ability to publish related works in other publications is an editorial policy of the journal and not based in copyright law.
