You have a number of options:
-
Try to persuade the publisher that it should accept the KAUST non-exclusive license in order to be able to publish your article.
-
Seek a different publisher.
-
Consult with the Library (repository@kaust.edu.sa) to address the publisher’s specific concerns.
-
Request a waiver for the article under the policy (by writing to: repository@kaust.edu.sa). (Note: Even if using the waiver option, the policy still expects a copy of the manuscript version to be deposited in the institutional repository. The deposited article will then be "dark" (without public access), if required by the publisher.)
