↑ [BOAI] Re: Wrong Advice On Open Access: History Repeating Itself from francoise.sm AT gmail.com       • This Message

Dear Francoise,

First of all, You have to be aware of the fact that the OA community
uses "pre-print" and "post-print" meaning ↵
"pre-refereed" and "Post-refereed",
respectively.

Secondly, publisher's policies are different. An author facing the question
whether she/he could reposit a particular paper might consult the
SHERPA ROMEO service (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/) which lists
publisher's policies on self-archiving.

Thirdly, as a general advice, authors need not worry that much about
their rights. Most publishers allow some form of self archiving, and
even more will be allowed in the future - publishers must accommodate
self archiving, or else they will go out of business. Authors might choose
an OA journal, or one with a more liberal publisher.

Andras Holl
