Do all publishers agree to texts they have published being made available in an institutional or disciplinary repository?

Most publishers agree to the self-archiving of publications. However, some demand that embargo periods be observed between the time of first publication and self-archiving. These may vary from a few months up to several years. The rules of the SNSF are met if articles are self-archived immediately after publication and books/book chapters after up to twelve months (Green OA). An overview of publishers’ practices may be found on the SHERPA/RoMEO website.
