I recently discovered some examples, such as
http://www.personal.rdg.ac.uk/~sxs98ltb/chambersLobbButlerHarveyTraill.pdf
This manuscript contains the phase "Author’s Accepted Manuscript". Does
GOAL know or can it speculate usefully who added this phrase. Is it done by
the author (seems unlikely), the publisher, or an institutional repository?

Similarly in my previous mail to GOAL  I gave the example of a manuscript
in Pubmed which appeared to be a AM but contained phraseology which
appeared to have sections added by or at the request of the publisher.

I am simply asking for factual information.
