If that’s true, then this isn’t really a matter of the research itself being subject to a new embargo, but only the final manuscript. Do I have that right? And if so, then in your view, is that insufficient? --- Rick Anderson Assoc. Dean for Scholarly Resources & Collections Marriott Library, University of Utah Desk: (801) 587-9989 [log in to unmask]
