“The journals of the Modern Language Association, including PMLA, Profession, and the ADE and ADFL bulletins, have adopted new openaccess-friendly author agreements, which will go into use with their next full issues. The revised agreements leave copyright with the authors and explicitly permit authors to deposit in openaccess repositories and post on personal or departmental Web sites the versions of their manuscripts accepted for publication. For more information on the new agreements, please contact the office of scholarly communication.”
