Self-archiving in DiVA
======================

Most publishers allow some version of self-archiving (parallellpublicering)
in institutional, nonprofit repositories like DiVA.
In order to follow the Open Access policy adopted by Uppsala University and
the Department of Information Technology, I will need some information about
full texts (pdf files) for your publications to upload them into DiVA.


Simplified full text handling in DiVA
=====================================

When you send me email with bibliographic data for a REFEREED publication
(NOT already Open Access), you should also provide the complete PATH NAME to
the full text in pdf AND indicate its VERSION (Preprint/Postprint/Publisher's,
vide infra) allowed by the publisher for self-archiving in DiVA.

Please put the pdf file somewhere in your public_html directory,
and AVOID attaching the file (unless it is absolutely necessary).


Publisher policies and terminology
==================================

To check what version you may provide, search on the SHERPA RoMEO site

http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/

If the journal is not found in SHERPA RoMEO,
check the rules at the publisher's web site.

Use the best version ALLOWED by the publisher, i.e.,

Publisher's version: The final publisher-created version

or (second best)

Author's Postprint: The author-created version after refereeing and
                    accepted for publication

or (preferably not)

Author's Preprint: The author's early version submitted to the publisher
