Resources for Faculty & Students : Already Published Research

To see if your already published articles can be shared through an Open Access Library and Archive, check the publication's individual rules or see SHERPA/RoMEO to search for permissions based on journal names.

SHERPA/RoMEO explains how and when authors can share their work by publisher and journal.

For instance, by default Elsevier (publisher):

  • Allows authors: to archive post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) articles on author's personal or institutional server
  • With these restrictions: published source must be acknowledged; must link to journal home page; publishers version/PDF cannot be used;
  • Also note: articles in some journals can be made Open Access on payment of additional charge.

This means that authors who have published in Elsevier journals can automatically include their articles in their home Institutional Repositories. Thus, all UF authors can submit their articles from Elsevier for inclusion in the Institutional Repository @UF.
