Each posting should include the article's citation and a link to the journal's home page (or the article's DOI). The author does not need our permission to do this, but any other posting (e.g. to a repository elsewhere) would require our permission. By "his version" we are ↵ referring to his Word or Tex file, not a PDF or HTML downloaded from ScienceDirect - but the author can update his version to reflect changes made during the refereeing and editing process. Elsevier will continue to be the single, definitive archive for the formal published version*." But SHERPA Romeo is classifying the Policy correctly as Green (and for some Elsevier journals "Blue," *which actually also means Green!* But ↵ because of Romeo's absurd colour scheme, "Romeo Blue" means that the refereed ↵ final draft can be immediately self-archived without embargo, whereas "Romeo Green" is reserved for when both the refereed final draft *and* the pre-refereeing draft can be immediately self-archived -- which is utterly irrelevant for OA, and caused needless and endless confusion, being at odds with the way "Green OA" is now universally used!)

That is every bit as absurd as SHERPA's green/blue distinction, and can and should also be ignored by all authors. But you wanted to learn more... I think that today, the 10th anniversary of the Elsevier Green OA Policy, would be an excellent day to publicly scrap the empty hedges and re-assert the very progressive and constructive Elsevier Policy as it was and is. The hedges just cause gratuitous confusion and are very bad for Elsevier's image...
