RoMEO contains publishers' general policies on posted and self-archiving journal articles and certain conference series. Each entry provides a summary of the publisher's policy, including what version of an article can be deposited, where it can be deposited, and any conditions that are attached.
JULIET complements the RoMEO service by providing summaries of funding agencies' conditions on self archiving of research publications and data. JULIET maintains research funders archiving mandates and open access policies, including data archiving policies and statistical analysis for worldwide funders' policies
