"The SPARC Author Addendum is a legal instrument that you can use to modify your copyright transfer agreements with non-open access journal publishers. It allows you to select which individual rights out of the bundle of copyrights you want to keep."

From Author's Alliance YouTube | "Michael Carroll, from American University's Washington College of Law, explains how addenda can help modify publishing contracts to help authors keep the rights necessary to make their work available."

"Your article has been accepted for publication in a journal and, like your colleagues, you want it to have the widest possible distribution and impact in the scholarly community. In the past, this required print publication. Today you have other options, like online archiving, but the publication agreement you’ll likely encounter will actually prevent broad distribution of your work." (SPARC, para. 1)
