LibAnswers @ ADU Library: Intellectual Property

An I article I wrote several years ago was published and now I want to update it with new material. Can I freely use the material again?

Answer

Review the publication agreement you signed with the journal publisher. You may have transferred your copyright to the publisher. However, many publishers license back some rights to the author.
