I was recently asked by a colleague about the situation regarding putting the final reports for EPSRC grants on the web. He was concerned that some academic bodies, eg the ACS, regard putting articles on a web page as a prior publication and will not then accept them for publication in one of their Journals. Since some of these reports can be quite detailed, and
I wouldn't care to comment on the precedence issue, but the EPSRC guidelines I saw are quite specific concerning publication of final reports. I found this out from our (ex) head of school who sent a PhD student with a disk in my direction, waving a piece for paper from EPSRC, telling us that we must publish this info. Oddly, no other PI has been to see me since, so perhaps the info didn't go out to everyone, or they are interpreting the edict differently. The final reports from the two I have received are on our web pages, http://www.che.bham.ac.uk/epsrc/ and are very basic - nothing that could really 'be published'. I guess I'm saying that the summary is probably OK to publish on the web, more detailed documents are problematic.
