@digfish Not always legally and not always even technically as publishers have sued ResearchGate for hosting that material and ResearchGate has developed tech to check the copyright when you upload it. cen.acs.org/policy/publishing/

Posting on a university repository is usually allowed, with various annoying limits; emailing when requested is always allowed, because it's inherently limited, and also they can't stop you and would look bad if they tried.

@zeborah @RustyBertrand does academia.edu also faced attempts of being sued by publishers? Who owns the copyright of scientific papers, after all?

@digfish I can't recall offhand if Academia specifically has been sued but wouldn't be surprised.

The typical publication agreement which authors have to sign to get a paper published transfers the copyright from the author to the publisher.

The main exception is if the author pays the publishers to publish it open access.

(There are also journals where it's free to publish open access, but not with the big publishers so usually seen as less desirable.)
