Det har varit osäkerhet kring Wiley-Blackwells parallellpubliceringingspolicy efter samgåendet men nu verkar det, tyvärr, ha klarnat och att man går på Wileys tidigare policy som inte tillåter parallellpublicering i ett institutionellt arkiv. Från jisc.repositories listan:
"In the Wiley-Blackwell copyright assignment form, which most authors publishing in this company’s journals will sign, it states (under item ‘C.2. Permitted Uses by Contributor > Accepted Version’) that:
“Re-use of the accepted and peer-reviewed (but not final) version of the Contribution shall be by separate agreement with Wiley-Blackwell”
I took this to mean that authors can, if they want to, approach Wiley-Blackwell on an article-by-article basis for permission to deposit their final draft manuscripts in their institutional repository.
However, having chased up permission with Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of an author here at the Open University, I received (after a number of email exchanges) the following (apparently definitive) answer from their Associate Permissions Manager:
“The submission version is the only version we allow to be placed into institutional repositories. We do not allow the post-peer review article, the author’s final draft, or any other version to be deposited. Therefore, I can confirm that permission is hereby refused in this case.”
So, unfortunately, given the size of Wiley-Blackwell (fourth largest academic journals publisher?), it seems we have a disappointing barrier to Green OA. Of course, Wiley has always not permitted final draft self-archiving, but it now appears that in merging with Blackwell they have stuck with this policy rather than embracing Blackwell’s.
Although Wiley-Blackwell do offer compliance with the ‘major’ funder mandates (e.g. NIH), it leaves me wondering how they intend to serve their authors who are mandated (for example) by one of the UK Research Councils. Have they thought this through? Are they prepared to lose authors who (in theory at least) could not possibly publish with them because they are not permitted to self-archive?

Det verkar ändå som Wiley-Blackwell tillåter parallellpublicering om än med embargo. Hämtat från deras "Author services"

Author rights after acceptance:
The following author rights apply to all Wiley-Blackwell journals, apart from Online Open articles (see below).
Provided they give appropriate acknowledgment to the journal, the relevant society and Wiley-Blackwell, and give the full bibliographic reference for the Article when it is published, authors may:
* share print or electronic copies of their version of the Article with colleagues (not the final published version);
* use all or part of the Article in other publications;
* use the Article for educational or research purposes;
* post their version of the Article on their personal website, their employer's website/repository and on free public servers in their subject area after the embargo period stipulated by the journal has been passed (note that the embargo period will vary by journal, e.g. 6 months or 12 months, and that some journals do not have any embargo on self-archiving at all – see note below).
* When posting on the web, authors must give full bibliographic details plus a link to the published version of the Article as follows: 'The definitive version is available at www3.interscience.wiley.com '.
