Self-archiving is a term used to describe authors posting their articles on their personal web sites and/or on their employers’ web sites.
Self-archiving may be done in a number of different ways.
IEEE authors are free to post their pre-print and post-print IEEE-copyrighted work on their own web page.

Authors can also post their IEEE copyrighted work on their employer’s web page or institutional repository.

IEEE authors whose work has been funded by an NIH grant are encouraged by IEEE to post their papers on PubMed Central (PMC).
IEEE will supply authors with the final versions of their papers, which authors may then submit directly to PMC.
