through early discussion of results

Promotes international and inter-disciplinary cooperation

Publicly-funded research results should be publicly available

… A solution for the «serials

crisis»?

Self-archiving: copyright issues

Subscription publishers usually require authors to transfer copyright or grant them an exclusive license to publish their work

But: They also usually allow some sort of self-archiving after a certain period of time (embargo) if you do not upload the publisher’s PDF but a manuscript version of the paper

(no publisher layout & logo)

Where to look up the regulations? SHERPA/RoMEO Database: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo Publisher/journal website Copyright transfer agreement

Did someone leave a review on QOAM (Quality Open Access Market)?

Is the publisher a member of OASPA (the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association) or COPE (the Committee on Publication Ethics)?

Have a look at the journal’s website: Does the journal conduct a peer review process? Are acknowledged scientists among the authors and editorial board members?
