------------------------------------ I can't speak to these publication policies. I can only say that I have found many full-text original sources through Google Scholar. For an example of a faculty webpage with pdfs of original research (evidently in lieu of sending out reprints to people through the mail), see Elizabeth Loftus' page at: http://socialecology.uci.edu/faculty/eloftus/. Under the section, "SELECTED PUBLICATIONS SINCE 2010," the first article is, "Zhu, B., Chen, C. et al, (2010) Individual differences in false memory from misinformation: Personality characteristics, Personality and Individual Differences, 48, 889-894. Clicking on the embedded link takes you to https://webfiles.uci.edu/eloftus/Zhu_PersonalityMisinfo_PAID10.pdf?uniq=eobv2r. (This is only one of the many articles available there.) The disclaimer in the article (self-contradictory to the non-legal scholar) says, "This article appeared in a journal published by Elsevier. The attached copy is furnished to the author for internal non-commercial research and education use, including for instruction at the authors institution and sharing with colleagues. Other uses, including reproduction and distribution, or selling or licensing copies, or posting to personal, institutional or third party websites are prohibited." That seems to clearly preclude posting the article. However, it goes on to say, "In most cases authors are permitted to post their version of the article (e.g. in Word or Tex form) to their personal website or institutional repository. Authors requiring further information regarding Elsevier’s archiving and manuscript policies are encouraged to visit: http://www.elsevier.com/copyright";. Crystal clear as usual with copyright law. So, in addition to using Google Scholar and PsycINFO to find sources, I also suggest my students visit the faculty websites of authors they find through these searches to see if any of their research is available there.
