One thing you really should at least do is retain the copyright of your own paper. Journals will allow you to retain copyright and almost all rights of your paper if you just ask for it.
Then you can always publish it on your homepage.
- nkurz 17y agoWhile this may be true in your field, my impression is that this isn't true in general. Can you offer specific evidence? Here's a page offering a different view: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/jono/item/toc.html http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/jono/item/toc.html

If you tell them that you're a PhD student and want to retain copyright and later publish your article in your thesis, then they will send you a new form. That form lets you keep the copyright, keep the right to publish this on your homepage, keep the right to publish this later on paper, et cetera. It takes some courage, some pushing and patience, but you will get it. This is one of my papers, note that it explicitly says on the webpage that I have the copyright: http://bit.ly/PBKqx http://bit.ly/PBKqx
