Det har varit osäkerhet kring Wiley-Blackwells parallellpubliceringingspolicy efter samgåendet men nu verkar det, tyvärr, ha klarnat och att man går på Wileys tidigare policy som inte tillåter parallellpublicering i ett institutionellt arkiv. Från jisc.repositories listan:
"In the Wiley-Blackwell copyright assignment form, which most authors publishing in this company’s journals will sign, it states (under item ‘C.2. Permitted Uses by Contributor > Accepted Version’) that:
“Re-use of the accepted and peer-reviewed (but not final) version of the Contribution shall be by separate agreement with Wiley-Blackwell”
I took this to mean that authors can, if they want to, approach Wiley-Blackwell on an article-by-article basis for permission to deposit their final draft manuscripts in their institutional repository.
However, having chased up permission with Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of an author here at the Open University, I received (after a number of email exchanges) the following (apparently definitive) answer from their Associate Permissions Manager:
“The submission version is the only version we allow to be placed into institutional repositories. We do not allow the post-peer review article, the author’s final draft, or any other version to be deposited. Therefore, I can confirm that permission is hereby refused in this case.”
So, unfortunately, given the size of Wiley-Blackwell (fourth largest academic journals publisher?), it seems we have a disappointing barrier to Green OA. Of course, Wiley has always not permitted final draft self-archiving, but it now appears that in merging with Blackwell they have stuck with this policy rather than embracing Blackwell’s.
Although Wiley-Blackwell do offer compliance with the ‘major’ funder mandates (e.g. NIH), it leaves me wondering how they intend to serve their authors who are mandated (for example) by one of the UK Research Councils. Have they thought this through? Are they prepared to lose authors who (in theory at least) could not possibly publish with them because they are not permitted to self-archive?
