SHERPA/RoMEO

SHERPA/RoMEO is a service run by SHERPA to show the copyright and open access self-archiving policies of academic journals.

The database used a colour-coding scheme to classify publishers according to their self-archiving policy.[1] This shows authors whether the journal allows preprint or postprint archiving in their copyright transfer agreements.[2] It currently holds records for over 22,000 journals.[3] The colour codes were retired in 2020, with the launch of a new site.[4]
