On rare occasions, Cal State LA faculty subject to the open access (OA) policies may need to adjust the terms of the policy for a specific publication or ensure that their publisher is informed of the policy. The waiver, embargo, or addendum can be used in the following cases:
-
A publisher requires the author to obtain a waiver from Cal State LA’s open access policy as a condition of publication.
-
The author chooses to delay public access to their article by placing an embargo on its release in ScholarWorks.
-
The author wants to generate an addendum to their publishing agreement to clarify their rights under the OA policy.
To request a no-questions-asked waiver, embargo, or addendum that exempts an article from the Policy, please contact the University Library. You will receive a letter via email within 24 hours.
