<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"">The language of the policy is fairly strong and is backed up with a legal Addendum (thanks for input from Wits, Denise!). On the
downside, publishers are able to request a 12 month embargo before full texts are made available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

years now, so I"m hoping that this policy can help self-archiving to become internalised on our campus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
