<div>In U.S. Copyright Law, joint authors are co-owners of the copyright in the work (see Section 201(a) of Title 17). This means that each author can individually exercise their rights under copyright, but are accountable to each other for any profits made.
For institutional repositories, we advise co-authors that they can choose to deposit a jointly authored article in our repository (subject to any limitations of the publication agreement they signed) without the permission of the co-author, but in the interest
of collegiality, they will want to discuss it with their co-authors first. If a co-author objects, I think they need to come to an agreement among themselves. There are mechanisms you can put in place in the repository to address the concerns raised by co-authors
(metadata only, etc.) but I would recommend looking at the needs and interests of your faculty as a whole and not just the co-author question when designing the functionality of your repository.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="word-wrap:break-word">If I may resurrect this question about joint authors.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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?
