How do I know a journal's policies before I submit?
Start with:
- SHERPA/ROMEO database
- Database of copyright policies relating to self-archiving
- Provides links to copyright policies on publishers' websites
For more extensive information, go directly to the publisher's website.
Information may be found under these headings on the website:
- Author information
- Copyright
- Permissions
- Author guidelines
- Open access
- Instructions for authors
If in doubt, you can always contact the publisher or editor with specific questions.
