Embargo

Victor Venema Mon 12 Feb 2018 4:46PMPublicSeen by 59

A paper of mine was just accepted for a journal that has a 12-month post-print embargo. Would it be a useful feature if one could upload a manuscript that is published automatically when the embargo period is over?

When I previously uploaded manuscripts, I did not notice such an option, so I presume it does not exist yet, but maybe I was also not paying attention.

Reminder that the poll is closing in one day. The poll on whether the EarthArXiv base would like to be able to upload a manuscript that is published automatically when the embargo period is over.

The poll is closed. We did not have much participation, but those that did vote overwhelmingly supported it: 11 agree, 1 abstains.

Chris, could you communicate this suggestion to the Advisory Board?

Thanks Victor,

All: I think this is sensible and pretty straightforward. Are we in agreement that we can take this forward as a proposal to COS? If I don’t hear any dissenting voices in the next day or so, I’ll
contact them.

Thanks,

Chris
