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

[Hamaker, Charles]

My mistake, Informa appears to be the umbrella organization for T&F:
http://www.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/

Also, the policy on author posting might date from 2009

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,
