Papers should be submitted as of the date of publication. To submit a paper under the policy, upload the author's final manuscript, post peer-review, via a web form (http://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/openaccess )

The articles will be made available to the public via ScholarSpace, the open access institutional repository at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

If the publisher requires a temporary embargo.Scholarspace can comply. Seek a different publisher.

Consult the UHM Library or the Patent and Copyright Committee about taking steps to address the publisher's specific concerns.
