Re: Embargoes on Deposit in Repositories

[Sandy Thatcher <sandy.thatcher@alumni.princeton.edu>]

Just to be clear here, this is in reference to Green OA versions, 
not versions of record. The issue of multiple versions of 
articles, and the adequacy thereof for different purposes, is the 
subject of a special issue of Against the Grain co-edited by Todd 
Carpenter and me  coming out in April.
