| Sumario: | The author's final step in the publication process involves reviewing and signing legal documents called author's agreements or contracts. With these documents, the author transfers publication rights to the publisher, and the publisher holds the copyright of an author's work (unless the author has previously secured a copyright for the work). Other components of these documents include a guarantee of ownership, manuscript specifications, and publication specifics. An author should review these documents carefully before signing them, and, once signed, adhere strictly to the points outlined in the contract or agreement.
