I'm not familiar with "ghost write." Will someone explain?

Dear Fellow Writers:
I'm a freelance writer who has been asked by a client to "ghost write" some
articles for a professional journal. I'm really confused about what
clause(s) to include in the contract to protect my copyright, or do I need to
address the copyright issue at all? And do I have the right to own the
copyright for this type of material?
