Is it safe to upload the pre-proofs manuscripts version of your manuscript that has been accepted on researchgate?. I have a couple of accepted pre-proofs manuscripts with Elsver
Sharing is by agreement only. They say, to ensure the sustainability of peer-reviewed research, you may only post the pre-proof as well as accepted manuscript in your institutional repository and make it public (ResearchGate or Academia.edu...)after an embargo period. The embargo period is around 24 months. For more: https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing
Thanks @wolfgang for feedback. I am not sure pre- prints and proof read copies are same. Respectfully i am not sure the discussion of preprints might not be applicable in this case
