[GOAL] Re: Informa.plc - Taylor and Francis no-embargo for LIS journals

[Hamaker, Charles]

I followed Heather's link...perhaps there's another somewhere else Heather's  is from Taylor and Francis Regional director for Australia Sarah Blatchford...She cites policy  LIS Author Rights Policy, at the following link:http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/lisrights.asp
about the same language is avaialble at:
http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/permissions/reusingOwnWork.asp
which is about more than LIS journals.


Going there I read the following( at either link)
In assigning Taylor & Francis an exclusive license to publish, you retain:...
the right to post your revised text version of the "postprint" of the article (i.e., the article in the form accepted for publication in a Taylor & Francis journal following the process of peer review), as an electronic file on your own website for personal or professional use, or on your institution's network or intranet or website, or in a subject repository that does not offer content for commercial sale or for any systematic external distribution by a third party, provided that you do not use the PDF version of the article prepared by us and you include any amendments or deletions or warnings relating to the article issued or published by Taylor & Francis and only with the following acknowledgment or such other acknowledgment as Taylor & Francis may notify to you:  (see link for acknowledgement text required)

The LIS version was  posted apparently in November of 2011.

 this policy does not appear to be restricted to LIS journals as it says:
:
We are happy to extend all these provisions to the many thousands of authors who have signed copyright assignments and licenses to publish in the past with Taylor & Francis or one of its constituent imprints, without the need to seek amendment to the previous agreements.

this does not appear to be a new policy created as a reaction to the resignations.

PS
I thought Informa was separate from T&F.

Subject: [GOAL] Informa.plc - Taylor and Francis no-embargo for LIS journals

In response to a post on the mass resignation of the Journal of Library Administration, Informa.plc, the multinational conglomerate working under its scholar-friendly-sounding brand "Taylor & Francis", posted this note about self-archiving:

"Under our LIS pilot program, authors can freely post their (“post-print”) manuscript immediately on publication – ie without any embargo."

from:
https://theconversation.com/journal-editorial-board-quits-over-open-access-principle-13086

Is there a connection? If other disciplines wish to remove embargoes to self-archiving, should they convince one of their journals to resign, too?

best,
