Jenny Delasalle, writing on the University of Warwick repository's blog, wonders, "Does repository deposit of a work constitute publication" and thus violate the Ingelfinger rule? If so, does that disadvantage students who make their thesis OA and later want to re-write it for submission to a journal?
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
