54. If you work for X and write a journal article for hire, then X is the author per copyright law

Fri Mar 9, 2012, 02:43 PM

Mar 2012

If the journal accepts the article for publication, then X usually grants an exclusive right to the copyrighted work to the journal, although some journals would allow X to retain some rights.

If you author an article unrelated to your employment (but read the fine print of your employment contract), then you would be the author and can negotiate copyright transfers with the publisher on your own.
