Pilot: Monitoring of Unauthorized Internet Posting of Journal Articles

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-06-15

Summary:

"APA is committed to

  • preserving the scientific integrity of the research we publish, including linking the authoritative document with any ensuing corrections or retractions so that readers have the most updated information;
  • minimizing security threats to authors and readers by providing a secure web environment to access APA content;
  • making APA resources available for free or at low cost in low- and middle-income countries through the World Health Organization's HINARI/Research 4 Life initiative; and
  • maintaining association funds to support APA's mission to create, communicate, and apply psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people's lives.

As part of these efforts, APA is launching a pilot to monitor and seek removal of unauthorized online postings of APA journal articles.

APA authors are able to post the final accepted, pre-formatted versions of their articles — the accepted manuscript — on their personal websites, university repositories, and author networking sites without an embargo.

Our approach and sharing recommendations are described in detail as part of the APA Journals Internet Posting Guidelines.

We welcome and encourage such sharing of scientific research by APA authors. However, any posted manuscripts must include a note linking to the final published article, the authoritative document."
