Can anyone point to the law on this? I am in science and still was under this impression. Why is film different? I do share papers but I always thought I was doing so in the shadows. When I want to republish an image I've created that I've used in another paper I need to ask the publisher for permission to do so (this is pretty explicit) and then cite that source in the new publication. Ive assumed the publisher now owns my words as well and that I cant just share that with anyone. If that's not true what sets it apart from your film? Can I share it as much as I'd like? Can I just put all my pdfs on my instutional public facing website? Does funding source matter at all?

Usually, for academic journals, you can retain most of your copyrights and grant a license to the journal. You have to pay attention to the options they give you when going through the publishing process, though. Because it does depend.

Some funding sources require that you retain certain copyrights in order to comply with things like public access mandates.
