       @Wolven Sounds like you are already sharing post-prints.Most journals have policies on this: no need to worry when something is explicitly allowed. Sherpa Romeo is a good resource on journal sharing policies: https://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/But it’s also unclear to me why authors, of whatever employment status, should be worried abt backlash: the worst a publisher can do is ask that a repository take a deposit down, which is an extremely rare occurrence. Are you thinking of other kinds of risks?

       @Wolven But has such a breach of contract lawsuit ever been filed by an academic publisher against a scholar sharing digital copies of their own work? I know of no such lawsuits: if you or others do know of examples, please point me in the right direction. (@petersuber, do you know of any?)Publishers (selectively & strategically) sue the libraries/repositories/academic-social-networks who host illegally uploaded works, not individual scholars.

       @Wolven Understood, junior & contingent academics have lots to be concerned about. What concerns me here is that publishing is opaque, seems capricious, & is highly consequential for career progression, which is the perfect combo for generating unfounded but powerful rumors & overly conservative strategizing.I wouldn’t have jumped into the convo unless I had relevant knowledge, worries abt how scholarship gets locked up, & appreciation of academics’ difficult negotiations.
