….In November 2010, the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board revised author
posting policy in order to exercise better control over IEEE’s intellectual property,
while still offering authors essential reuse of their own created works. The new policy
retains substantial rights for authors to post on their personal sites and their institutions’
servers, but only the accepted versions of their papers, not a published version as might
be downloaded from IEEE Xplore®. 149
…authors may…..post their version of the Article on their personal website, their
employer’s website/repository and on free public servers in their subject area after the
embargo period stipulated by the journal has been passed (note that the embargo period
will vary by journal, e.g. 6 months or 12 months, and that some journals do not
have any embargo on self-archiving at all – see note below). 150
