Copyright (and posting your papers online)
The publishers have a new (11/08) policy on this.
The key points of the new policy can be summarized generally as follows:
- Authors are free to archive and self-archive the submitted (pre-peer-reviewed) version of their articles after publication on their personal website or on the Contributor’s institution/employer’s institutional repository or archive. However, many physical sciences journals limit this right to intranets. Also, Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) journals may wish to allow authors to self-archive on the internet and post in an institutional repository prior to publication.
- Archiving of the accepted version of the article (but not the final published version) may be permitted by special arrangement
- Authors are allowed to broadly reuse figures, artwork, data and tables
Please note that you are not permitted to post the Blackwell Publishing PDF version of the Article online. (That is, it must be the pre-publication but accepted version supplied for publication by you - not the publishers final published copy)
