| Oct 17, 2010 at 14:13 | comment | added | Arend Bayer | Let me repeart: arXiv! Your paper is much more likely to be read widely if you submit it to the arXiv. It also means it will always be easy to find. | |
| Oct 15, 2010 at 5:28 | comment | added | Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine | @JBL: at least in some dialects and registers, “I’ve” can certainly be used when have is the main verb. “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” But agreed, it’s not common in standard formal usage. | |
| Oct 14, 2010 at 17:38 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | @Emerton: publishers are surprisingly willing to let authors make their books available online. As recently as five years ago, it was a bit of a hard sale, though a determined author could make it happen. These days, it's a lot more commonplace: e.g., I was just looking this morning at this one algo.inria.fr/flajolet/Publications/books.html which came out in 2009. | |
| Oct 14, 2010 at 17:35 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | fiktor: they will not send you anything about your rights until the paper is accepted (of course: the question is irrelevant until they want to publish it). The terms may be straightforward or complicated, depending on the publisher. Unless you're a legal expert, you may find it hard to know exactly what the agreement entails. | |

| Oct 14, 2010 at 14:30 | comment | added | JBL | Surely you signed a copyright agreement that lays out exactly what rights you have for sharing your paper? Unrelatedly, three small language notes: "loose" and "lose" are different, as are "its" and "it's." Also, the contraction "I've" can't be used when "have" is the main verb, only when it's a helper verb ("I've got problems," but "I have problems"). | |

| Oct 14, 2010 at 14:23 | comment | added | Emerton | I think that in most cases, not sharing work on the internet is more a reflection of a mathematician's personal taste (so to speak) --- i.e. whether they can be bothered or think it's important to do this --- rather than of copyright issues (regardless of what the actual legal status of their ownership over their papers is). The one common exception that I'm aware of in this regard is the case of books: these represent a somewhat more substantial investment by the publisher than any one paper, and so I think authors are less likely to keep electronic copies of their books ... | |
