Some pointers on self-archiving and copyright :
• Copyright transfer agreements and self-archiving policies are publisher specific.
• For Information check the signed copyright transfer agreement and ‘author’s guide’.
• Or use the Sherpa Romeo website (Journals only)• Most publishers allow you to add a copy of the
‘author’s final draft’ to an institutional repository • Spiral team will add DOI / link to publisher’s website
and acknowledge copyright.• Email the spiral team if you aren’t sure.
