AUTHOR SELF-ARCHIVING POLICYPostprint use of Oxford Journals content
A postprint is defined as the finaldraft author manuscript, as accepted for publication by a journal, including modifications based on referees’ suggestions, before it has undergone copyediting and proof correction.
Authors may upload their accepted postprint manuscript PDF to an institutional and/or centrally organized repository, provided that public availability is delayed until 12 months after first online publication in the journal.
When uploading an accepted manuscript to a repository, authors should invlude a credit line (see below) and a link to the final published version of the article…
This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in [insert journal title] following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version [insert complete citationinformation here] is available online at: xxxxxxx [insert URL that the author will reveive upon publication here].
A PDF of the final published version of the article as it appears in the journal following copyediting and proof correction may not be deposited by authors in institutional repositories unless the article is published under the Oxford Open model.
Broadly, most Oxford journals have 12 or 24 month embargos on self-archiving** (see individual journal policy for detail). 12 months embargo on science, technology, medicine articles(STM). 2 years embargo on arts and humanities articles(AH). Some titles may have different embargoes. |
