Eighteenth-Century Fiction, a McMaster University journal (ECF) — the ECF protocol with regards to any open-access (OA) requirements from funding agencies:

In order to ensure that authors can publish in ECF and still comply with their funders’ open-access requirements, the ECF editors have implemented the following policy.

An author may upload the accepted Eighteenth-Century Fiction article or essay document file to his or her own institutional online repository. The ECF editors ask that the date and place of publication of the finalized article be noted and that a link to the ECF website be included with the file that is uploaded to an institutional or disciplinary (subject) repository.

The ECF editors require that authors wait until after the date of publication of their articles in the journal Eighteenth-Century Fiction to post their accepted manuscripts to any open-to-the-public institutional repositories.

ECF authors are requested to sign a contract with Eighteenth-Century Fiction/McMaster University that states: “Eighteenth-Century Fiction (ECF), McMaster University, obtains and owns the copyright on the contents of its journal. To clarify the rights of authors and ECF, and thus ensure the protection of both, ECF requires that an author formally assign all rights to ECF before an article, essay, or review (article) is published. … The Author(s) may post this article on their own institutional repository.” For the complete text of a standard ECF article contract, please contact ecf@mcmaster.ca.

NOTE to all ECF authors and book reviewers:
Please remember that academia.edu is not an institutional repository: use only the link to ECF on Project MUSE and the abstract of your own ECF article for notices on academia.edu about your recently published work.
