| <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <h3>Who can use Arch?</h3> | ||
| <p>Anyone can search and download files from Arch. In order to deposit files, you must be a Northwestern University faculty, student, researcher or staff member with a current Northwestern University network account (NetID) and password. </p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h3>Does it cost anything?</h3> | ||
| <p>Arch is a service provided by the Libraries to the Northwestern community free of charge, and funded by Northwestern University. </p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h3>What is Open Access?</h3> | ||
| <p>Arch is an open access repository designed to make scholarly research freely accessible on the public internet and preserved using digital preservation standards and technologies. According to the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (to which Northwestern University is a member), “Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment” (<a href="http://sparcopen.org/open-access/">SPARC</a>). For more information about the open access movement, PHD Comics created this “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5rVH1KGBCY">Open Access Explained</a>” video.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h3>I’m interested in depositing my research publications to make them open access. How do I know what I can upload?</h3> | ||
| <p>This depends on the copyright and permissions policies of the publisher, as well as your publishing agreement with them. Most journal publishers post their open access policies on their websites or include them in their publishing agreements. Book publishers may need to be contacted directly about this. <a href="http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/">SHERPA/RoMEO</a> offers summaries of permissions that are normall given as part of each publisher's copyright transfer agreement, though the terms of your particular agreement may differ. | ||
| Typically, scholarly publishers allow researchers to upload the version before it was published, i.e., the pre-print, or the version of it after it was submitted and peer-reviewed, i.e., the post-print. Open access publishers generally allow final PDF versions to be uploaded to institutional repositories.</p> | ||
| <p>If you have given the publisher exclusive rights to all versions of the publication, they may indeed prohibit your ability to post it elsewhere. However, publishers do sometimes change their policies due to public demand, so it may be worthwhile to contact them and make a case for open access. We may be able to help you find the right people to contact about this issue. If you need help determining whether or not you have the rights to upload your research to Arch, please <a href="https://arch.library.northwestern.edu/contact">Contact Us</a>.</p> | ||

| <li>Your Institution: Your work is only available to Northwestern University affiliates</li> | ||

| <li>Lease: Your work will be available for a limited amount of time</li> | ||
