Secondary-Publication Right
The so-called secondary-publication right (Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht, § 38(4) German UrhG) allows authors to make the manuscripts of their publications in scientific/scholarly journals freely available on the internet under certain conditions one year after the primary publication. The current understanding is that this applies to articles published after the regulation came into effect in January 2014.
