Rights retention policies enable authors to exercise the rights they automatically own so they can use their work as they choose. This includes the ability to deposit a copy of their Author Accepted Manuscript in a repository, and to provide open access to it without embargo and under an open licence. cOAlition S launched the Rights Retention Strategy in 2020 to give researchers who are supported by a cOAlition S organizations the freedom to submit manuscripts for publication to their journal of choice, including subscription journals, whilst remaining fully compliant with Plan S. This year (2022), to help researchers acknowledge and assert their rights, cOAlition S has launched an online campaign, under the theme ‘Publish with Power: Protect your rights’. The webinar will provide updates on this campaign, the cOAlition S Rights Retention Strategy and the suite of freely available resources about the Rights Retention Strategy:

- Pre-submission letter template to help authors ask for the clarity before definitively deciding to submit to a particular journal
- Submission cover letter template for authors to accompany their article manuscript as part of their submission to a journal
