My publisher agreement recognizes my right to make my article publicly available after a certain period of time. How can I comply with this contract term?
How do I place an embargo on the availability of my article?
Answer
Create a record for your article, book chapter or conference paper in ScholarWorks and upload your author accepted manuscript file, then write to scholarworks@library.umass.edu and request that your manuscript is hidden from public view for the specified time period.
The record for your work will remain publicly viewable but the file of your manuscript will be unavailable until the date your request.
