<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="#000000">Exploiting Elsevier’s
Creative Commons License Requirement to Subvert Embargo<span></span></font></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="#000000"><br></font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000">"In the last round of
author sharing policy revisions, Elsevier created a labyrinthine title-by-title
embargo structure requiring embargoes from 12-48 months for author sharing via
institutional repository (IR), while permitting immediate sharing via author's
personal website or blog. At the same time, all pre-publication versions are to
bear a Creative Commons-Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)
license. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000">"At the time this policy was announced, it was rightly criticized by
many in the scholarly communication community as overly complicated and
unnecessary. However, this CC licensing requirement creates an avenue for
subverting the embargo in the IR to achieve quicker open distribution of the
author's accepted manuscript. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000">"In short, authors may post an appropriately
licensed copy on their personal site, at which point we may deposit without embargo
in the IR, not through the license granted in the publication agreement, but
through the CC license on the author's version, which the sharing policy
mandates. This poster will outline this issue, our experimentation with
application, and engage viewers in questions regarding its potential risks,
benefits, and workflows."<span></span></font></p>
