Open-access and self-archiving
For CMS, the term ‘open-access’ means the full text of an article in the journal is made free to anyone from the moment it is published. Springer will provide open-access to any article for which the author pays the APC (author pays charge).
The term ‘Self-archiving’ means the article is posted and made available on another institution’s website, presumably for free to anyone. Read the Springer ‘Self-archiving’ policy here.
US National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) public access
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) requests any author whose research received any direct support from NIH funding to submit their accepted, but not necessarily edited, manuscripts related to that research to PubMed Central , the digital library maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) within 12 months of acceptance. PubMed Central will post the paper within 12 months of the final publication date. This new policy is voluntary. Although the policy will only affect NIH-funded research, and very few CMS members or
publications, it will probably influence the future of publication and dissemination practices for all federally-funded scientists, publishers and funding agencies. The CMS has added the following statement to the Clays and Clay Minerals copyright assignment forms we ask authors to sign:
“The journal acknowledges that the author retains the right to provide a copy of the accepted manuscript as returned to CMS to NIH for public archiving in PubMed Central. CMS asks that the statement be added that deposited material was published in Clays and Clay
Minerals, and include the full citation and DOI.”
