Publisher agreements vary widely. Some publishers allow you to submit published versions of your article to your university's institutional repository. Some allow only non-published versions to be posted, such as preprints or postprints. View the information below to learn how the library can help you navigate publisher requirements, journal policies and article versions.
Open Policy Finder is a service allowing researchers to search publisher copyright policies to aid in the self-archiving of scholarly articles in institutional repositories. CCU faculty can request that University Libraries research their scholarly output using this service to obtain a list of publisher agreements for their scholarly works. The library can then upload any/all of these permitted works in CCU Digital Commons. Please contact the library at commons@coastal.edu to learn more.
