WhatCopyright Transfer Agreement and self-archiving
‣ 8. Electronic Preprints. Before submitting [..], authors frequently post their manuscripts to their own web site, their employer’s site, or to another server that invites constructive comment from colleagues. [..]
‣ Upon publication of an article [..], the author must replace any previously posted electronic versions of the article with either
• the full citation to the IEEE work with a [..] link to the article abstract in IEEE Xplore, or
• the accepted version only [the postprint!] (not the IEEE-published version), including the IEEE copyright notice and full citation, with a link to the final, published article in IEEE Xplore

Why self-archiving?
‣ Allowed by ~90% of scientific publishers, achieved by ~15% of papers
‣ As a “community service”
• Every time you hit a paywall, think about how easily it can be avoided

• Was it clear?
• Is there a clever, faster way to understand?

Where / How to self-archive
‣ Transparency. Use the comments field
• Number pages, figures
• Based on another publication
• Sentences/links that the publisher wants, i.e., “The final publication is available at link.springer.com”
‣ Do not flood it

Where / How to self-archive
‣ How to prevent people to cite the arXiv version?
• It should never happen
- Why would you cite a preprint instead of the peer-reviewed version?
- Google Scholar can merge the citations
- There is still nothing wrong with it
• Guide the readers. Use the comments and the paper itself

When to self-archive
‣ Whenever you want
‣ Even before considering submission
• “Establish a precedent”
• Request comments
‣ Keep the eprint updated
‣ Check http://rchive.it and the Copyright Transfer Agreement
Submitting to a journal
54
When to self-archive
‣ After acceptance
‣ After proceedings publication
‣ Why not before?
• Some conference organizers demand no prior publication of the work

Final Remarks
Self-archiving
‣ Is a WIN-WIN game
• Wider access to literature for EVERYONE
• More citations for the authors
• Easy and fast to perform
57
Final Remarks
Self-archiving
‣ Permitted by most publishers
‣ Tools exist to help
• http://rchive.it
• http://arXiv.org
58
Final Remarks
Self-archiving
‣ For journal articles
• always, if permitted
‣ For conference articles
• only after acceptance / publication, if permitted
59
Final Remarks
‣ No. But..
‣ ..watch the repository license carefully
• General non-exclusive license to distribute is fine
• Creative Commons are powerful
Can it harm?
60
Final Remarks
‣ Creative Commons should be widely understood before using them
- CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 (attribution, noncommercial, sharealike) is interesting and a must for Open Access journals
- Traditional journals may not like it
- CC Public Domain Declaration may kill the paper
- Especially for conference proceedings
Can it harm?
61
Is that all?
‣ We can talk about
‣ Open Access
• Green, Gold, and Hybrid
‣ Open Data
‣ Publishing research outputs (see http://figshare.com)
‣ Making software citable (see http://openresearchsoftware.metajnl.com )
‣ Publishing negative research
‣ Creative Commons Licenses
‣ http://task3.cc
Absolutely not!
