    If I'm an author of a conference paper that is published, can I publish that paper on my website?

    In general papers are subject to copyright by the journal owner or conference organisers. You must request and obtain a copyright permission, or be satisfied that published statements or precedents by the copyright owner permit you to reprint your own paper as a web reprint. It would be a helpful courtesy to give the URL, if any, for the professional society or publisher or conference responsible for the original publication of your paper.

    so I think I'd need permission; but I wouldn't see a problem with getting it.

    Well technically any copyright for conference papers are owned by whoever publishes them (SPIE, BMJ, etc).

    However I know that within our group we put our papers up on our website after they have been published and we haven't had any trouble yet. You putting up your paper on your research website isn't breaking the spirit of the law but is breaking the letter of the law.

    You're probably best asking your supervisor. I would say though that putting it up on your website a couple of months after it has been published won't get you into any great trouble

    It should be in any copyright forms that you signed for the publication. It is normal for there to be a clause in the copyright form that you are allowed to place a copy on your personal website

    Thanks for the replies.
