Case n° 5 :  Articles not in Open Access with CC BY license

• • • • The final version of your articles published with a restrictive license other than CC BY cannot be distributed as Open Access on Serval. You will need to follow the Green Open Access route, where, under certain conditions, you can make the author’s manuscript/postprint of your article/chapter available through Serval (see diagram below).

• • • • The detailed conditions for each article can be identified via Jisc open policy finder (formerly Sherpa/Romeo), an official online resource for universities and funding agencies summarizing the archiving, copyright, and Open Access policies of publishers for each journal. Often, making the author’s manuscript Open Access is subject to an embargo, and rights on the shared document are restricted.
