Elsevier Allows Open Access Self-Archiving

In a move that has stunned both the publishing community and the academic world, major journal publisher Elsevier is going to permit open access self-archiving for almost all of its journal titles. Under the new policy it will permit authors to self-archive their materials. This move will not change Elsevier’s subscription model for funding.

“An author may post his version of the final paper on his personal Web site and on his institution’s Web site (including its institutional repository). Each posting should include the article’s citation and a link to the journal’s home page (or the article’s DOI),” stated Karen Hunter, Elsevier vice president for strategy. “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.”
