Can I embargo my submission?
I want to prevent my submission from being downloaded for a short time. Can I do that? What if I change my mind and want to remove the embargo? Can I extend it?
Answer
Most submissions can be embargoed either during the submission or by emailed request from the author(s). Embargoes can be removed early or extended by author request as well.
However, the institutional repository is an open-access repository and the expectation is that all submissions will eventually be downloadable. If you do not want your work to be openly findable on the internet, please do not submit it to the institutional repository,
