Isn’t author self-archiving good enough?
Author self-archiving is becoming an important part of the scholarly communication process. The Library supports multiple repositories, including eCommons@Cornell and Digital Commons@ILR, in which authors can post their accepted manuscripts. The Library also supports subject repositories such as arXiv and PubMed Central that also make author manuscripts freely available. Most author self-archiving initiatives, however, do not post the version of the research as published. The University appreciates and values the contributions that publishers add to the scholarly communication system.
