12. How do I submit to CUNY Academic Works?

14. U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 8
“The Congress shall have Power to. . . promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”

16. Can you submit your work? Ugh…

17. Can you submit your work? Easier!
SHERPA/RoMEO
Search by journal/publisher to learn

20. Not Great …

Among Publishers
SHERPA/RoMEO covers 2166 publishers
as of October 2015.
78% allow some form of self-archiving.

23. Prevalence of Permission?
Among Journals
Of the 18,000+ journals covered by SHERPA/RoMEO in Nov. 2011:
87% allow immediate self-archiving of some version of article
60% allow immediate self-archiving of post-refereed version
16% allow immediate self-archiving of published PDF
Allowing for embargoes (usually 6 to 24 months), 94% allow self-archiving of post-refereed versions

24. Can I Negotiate My Contract?
Sometimes.

25. Can I Ask After the Fact? Yes! (Ask for a sample!) Dear Publisher,
I am writing to ask permission to mount a copy of an article of mine, which was published in one of your journals, in the City University of New York’s research repository, CUNY Academic Works… 
If possible, I would like post the the final, journal-braded PDF version. The PDF version is preferable to my manuscript version because it maintains consistency in appearance of the article wherever it is read and more closely associates the article with the journal…

26. I know I can submit my work. Now how do I do it?
Time for a Live Demo

27. Thank you!
