Policy for Depositing Articles from Ceased Journals

In the event that a faculty author wishes to deposit an article in Scholarly Works @ SHSU where ALL of the following are true:

• The journal has ceased publication; AND
• The library has been unable to determine the journal’s past policies regarding author self-archival; AND
• The library has been unable to identify or communicate successfully with a clear rights-holder for the journal content;

It is the policy of the Newton Gresham Library to permit author deposit of the final published version of the article in Scholarly Works @ SHSU.

If a rights-holder emerges to make a take-down request, the content in question will be removed promptly.
