[GOAL] question about co-authors and self archiving

[Stephen X. Flynn]

If I may resurrect this question about joint authors.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my assumption is that joint authorship is very much like a joint bank account. You, as the joint account owner, has just as much the ability to withdraw money, write checks, initiate wire transfers, etc as the other account owner. Isn't joint authorship very similar? One co-author has the ability to exercise his or her rights to self-archive the work in an IR (provided the journal's policies allow this). Why should one co-author be able to prevent others from self-archiving?
