Can I publish an article in the repository that I have already published in a scientific journal?
Yes, as long as you produced the document in the framework of your activity at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia, UOC), and as long as this is permitted by the contract you signed with the publisher of the scientific journal. To find out what is permitted or not by the publisher, if you don’t have a copy of the signed contract, you can consult it through the international publishers’ database SHERPA-ROMEO and/or the national publishers’ database DULCINEA.
