Module 2: Publishing Agreements - Status

Most publishing agreements will ask you whether you own the work or it is owned by your employer. Under Texas State University and System policy, you own your own work.

That means neither of these options will apply to you. You can skip them and sign for yourself.

You represent that the Contribution is owned by you unless one of the following is checked:
• *If any author is an employee of the United States Government and prepared the Contribution as part of their official duties, please check here:
US Government Agency Name: _______________________________________
• If any author prepared the Contribution at the direction of their employer, please have a representative of your employer sign below, and please check here:
Employer Name: _______________________________________
Authorized Signature: ______________________________ Date signed: _________________
