Don't know your rights? Most publishers today have self-archiving policies and spell out author rights. We can help you figure this out. When policies aren't known, we'll ask the publisher for permission.
What version can I deposit? Usually, the version you're permitted to archive is the accepted manuscript, also called a postprint. This is the final version you submitted to the publisher after peer review and revisions but before copy editing and layout. It's often a Word or LaTeX document.
You didn't save your postprint? Are you sure? Look again. Check in your email "sent" folder. If you only have a hard copy … that’s OK. We can scan it.
Always save your postprints. Did we mention that you should always save your postprints?
