dear pratap, thanks for the email. here are my answers to your questions... its not mandatory to uplaod a full-text of the document. its an option. but if it is uploaded it has to be checked for the publishers copy-rught. they are avaialble on sherpa/romeo <http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/> unfortunately for most of the indian publishers such type of policies are not avaialble. so, for any publishers embargo, you can upload the document but will make it visitble to the users in the institution and outside the institution, people may request for the full-text with 'request button' and it will generate a mail and would be sent to the pricipal contact (author) to send the article. r u building institutionsl repository?? need any help plz contact us at IARI on head_usi@iari.res.in Thanks & Regards Sridhar _________________________________________________________________________ Sridhar Gutam PhD, ARS, PG Dip Patent Laws (NALSAR), IP & Biotechnology (WIPO) Scientist Unit of Simulation and Informatics Indian Agricultural Research Institute Pusa Campus, New Delhi 110012 Mobile: +91-9582791355 http://www.iari.res.in; http://works.bepress.com/sridhar_gutam/ On 25 November 2010 16:09, Dr.D.P Prathap <sbilibrary@gmail.com> wrote:
dear colleagues
Please clarify....
In an Institutional Repository, publications of the Institute are made available in full-text for free access by any one, of course full-text is subject to publiser's embargo period.
With the copyright held by the publishers for the artilces for ever, I would like to know what type of agreement between the publisher and the authors of the Institute enable the full-text Institutional Repository accessable by anybody.
What is the difference between "request a copy" form for an article under Embargo period AND making it available in full-text in IR itself.
Sincerely Technical officer (Library) Sugarcane Breeding Institute
