Rules
Oops, all my research keeps getting leaked online.
If you're looking at publishing it for free, I'd think it should be fine to put a PDF download in an ordinary blog post with the title and abstract?
Or are there people who won't allow that?
You will transfer the economic copyright to most journals upon publication of the typeset manuscript meaning that you're not allowed to publish that particular PDF anywhere. However, a lot of journals are okay with you publishing the pre-peer reviewed article or even sometimes the peer-reviewed, but NOT typeset article (sometimes called post-print article). Scientific publishing is weird :-)
Just leak it before publishing it. Also most authors will give you the pdf for free if you just email them and ask for it nicely.
