do you know how wickedly easy it is to retain your rights as an author, in order to self archive articles you have submitted for publication? i set special time aside today in order to buckle down and figure it out, only to discover that all i have to do is submit an addendum with my copyright agreement to the publisher. mit has made one for me, so all i have to do is download the PDF or Word file, fill it out and negotiate from there. here’s a link to the mit site: http://libraries.mit.edu/about/scholarly/copyright-form.html.
thanks for pointing me to the mit link, Open Access News!
