Incidentally, I've just heard back from OUP regarding a book chapter
permission request I sent, who mentioned the following:

 

" We are currently reviewing our position on archiving and embargo periods,
so I wanted to wait for the updated policy document before advising you. It
is due out this month and I will get back to you as a priority."

 

So it seems OUP are also due for a change shortly.

Hi all,

 

Just spotted this today: Cambridge Journals have apparently changed their
overall green OA policy sometime in the past few months (there's no date on
the new policy that I can see to indicate when it was brought in, and I
can't find an announcement)

 

July:
<http://web.archive.org/web/20140714210504/http:/journals.cambridge.org/acti
on/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608>
http://web.archive.org/web/20140714210504/http://journals.cambridge.org/acti
on/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608

Now:  <http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608>
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608

 

You used to be able to post the version of record to an institutional
repository with a twelve-month embargo, but this has been altered to
"abstract only". The AAM used to have no embargo, and this has now been
altered to six months after publication. The new policy is undated, and they
haven't updated the "Copyright and Repositories" agreement, which still
lists the old terms:

 

 <http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4676>
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4676

 

It's still RCUK-compliant, but it's a bit frustrating - Cambridge had had
one of the better self-deposit policies.
