The claim is only (1) that having-been-previously-self-archived- on-the-web is NOT a violation of any copyright transfer agreement, and (2) that once it has been archived-on-the-web, it is no longer fully within any author's power to withdraw. So "withdrawal" is moot. No danger; no misleading. Go ahead and self-archive your preprints, safely sign any copyright transfer agreement after the paper is accepted, and if the publisher will not publish the paper unless you sign away your right to self-archive that paper, just self-archive the corrigenda. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Stevan Harnad har...@cogsci.soton.ac.uk Professor of Cognitive Science har...@princeton.edu Department of Electronics and phone: +44 23-80 592-582 Computer Science fax: +44 23-80 592-865 University of Southampton http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/ Highfield, Southampton http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/ SO17 1BJ UNITED KINGDOM
