Hi all,
Just spotted this today: Cambridge Journals have apparently changed their overall green OA policy sometime in the past few months (there's no date on the new policy that I can see to indicate when it was brought in, and I can't find an announcement)
July: http://web.archive.org/web/20140714210504/http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608
Now: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displaySpecialPage?pageId=4608
You used to be able to post the version of record to an institutional repository with a twelve-month embargo, but this has been altered to "abstract only". The AAM used to have no embargo, and this has now been altered to six months after publication. The new policy is undated, and they haven't updated the "Copyright and Repositories" agreement, which still lists the old terms:

It's still RCUK-compliant, but it's a bit frustrating - Cambridge had had one of the better self-deposit policies.
