What does embargo mean?
There are several current journal on this page with publisher embargo's of six to eighteen months. This means the publisher has placed restrictions on availability of the electronic text. While paper is available upon publication, electronic access is limited. If a journal has a one year embargo, it will be available after the embargo period has expired. In some cases, a rolling embargo is in place and the material is available continuously.  In other instances there is a fixed time period when the next year becomes available.
