Many of the items in S@C are preprints, or post-print final manuscripts. These are versions of articles that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Preprints and final manuscripts have the same content as the final version, but the formatting may look a little different from the published journal.
We recommend that our authors consult Jisc's open policy finder which provides a summary of permissions that are normally given as part of each publisher's copyright transfer agreement. If the publisher prohibits submitting a journal article to the repository and will not grant an exception, the author may consider submitting a pre-publication copy. The Library can provide assistance on using Jisc's open policy finder. Please contact your Subject Librarian for assistance.
