I think this point needs some clarification. In the past, when an author signed over the copyright to an article to a publisher (e.g., APA), the author no longer has any right to distribute the article outside of private reprint requrets, and freely distributing the published article, say, from one's website, is a copyright violation. In recent years, there may have been some modication of this policy (e.g., if the researcher received U.S. federal funding, the publication should be available for free -- I believe this is why PudMed.gov gets as many original electionic version of articles because the federally funded research must deposit the publication with National Library of Medicine which runs PubMed). Have these policies changed in recent years? -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
