If you submit an article, and it is not used, do you still "own it" to
be able to submit it to another publisher? Or do they "own it" and
keep the rights to it even if they don't use it?

<<Unless specifically stated it used to be assumed that the magazine
publisher owns rights to reprint articles in future issues of the
same magazine, including special issues. The magazine publisher does
not own rights to use the material in a book or other publications.
The rules may have changed since I was a magazine contributor. >>
all of this is stated specifically in the contract that authors are
asked to sign before publication of any article in an Interweave
Press publication.
As should be the case with any proper magazine, but there are some out
there that don't follow the customs. I had a magazine owner republish
some articles of mine in books without my permission. I got the book
publisher to pull the books off the market and a rather nice payment
from the magazine owner, I didn't even have to hire a lawyer -
although the magazine owner did. Hah!
