I'm confused -- does Elsevier let you post your own articles on your own website (university-sponsored or otherwise)? If it does, then Elsevier isn't exactly suppressing the free dissemination of research.
The answer probably lies in the meaning of the third checkmarked item on http://www.elsevier.com/journal-authors/author-rights-and-responsibilities http://www.elsevier.com/journal-authors/author-rights-and-re..., which says the following is allowed:
Sharing individual articles with colleagues for their research use (also known as 'scholarly sharing')
- aroch 13y agoAs far as I know (I'm not a lawyer, but I do academic research), that third checkmark means we can share our papers within our staff group and with collaborators without them necessarily subscribing to Elsevier. We cannot however publicly make available our published manuscripts, thus we're forced to list citations + doi's even if the manuscript should be read by everyone
- jahewson 13y agoElsevier's T&Cs say that for preprint (i.e. draft copies) of an article "voluntary posting on open web sites operated by author or author's institution for scholarly purposes" is permitted.
- xerophtye 13y agoRandom question, is there a Diff requirement between a draft and a final copy? What if there's only a difference of a few grammatical errors between published version and the one before that? Would the researcher be allowed to publish that "nearly-complete" copy of the paper?
