While reviewing all of the recent comments regarding the Wiley-Blackwell policies, I came across the following under Author Rights and Benefits>important Author Rights: http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/author_rights.asp
This appears to be a re-branding of the pervious Blackwell Publishing policy, but it does clearly state that it applies to 'All Wiley-Blackwell Journals' albeit taking into account that policies vary between journals.
In summary, in general you can deposit the following (including in an institutional repository)
- authors version prior to acceptance
- authors final version
- but not the final published version
Of course because of the variation between journals on policy and embargoes, the best information is still going to come from each journals own policy.
SHERPA are now actively working on the changes needed to RoMEO for it to hold and display journal level policies, which will be of the greatest benefit for publishers such as Wiley-Blackwell, where the policy varies so much.
