Abstract

This article reports on some of the findings of the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights MEtadata for Open archiving) with regard to the copyright issues faced by academic authors wishing to self-archive their research papers. It concludes that much depends on the rights distribution chain between university, academic and publisher, and that a redistribution of rights amongst the various stakeholders is required.
