EDSU 920: Dissertation Publication: MINDS@UW

Researchers often can deposit previously published materials in institutional repositories such as MINDS@UW. Many journals allow authors to upload published articles in some form, especially preprints. You can check the publisher's policy in the following ways:

• Review the author publication agreement.
• Visit the publisher's website.
• Search in the database SHERPA/ROMEO
• Contact librarian Troy Espe, who will confirm the publisher's policy for you.
