May I place an embargo on a work submitted to SOAR, even if the publisher does not require it?
Yes. You will find a place to enter an embargo end date in the article submission form.
If a work has an embargo, is the metadata visible?
Yes. The article metadata (title, author, subject keywords, abstract, etc.) are still searchable through Google, and the record will open in SOAR, but the full text cannot be downloaded until the embargo expires.
If you and your advisor agree that redactions are needed on specific pieces of metadata, email libsuppt@upstate.edu after completing the submission form.
Will the embargo automatically expire?
Yes. SOAR will remove the embargo on the date chosen when the article is submitted.
