What is an embargo?

Answer

An embargo is a hold placed on the release of your manuscript. You may request that ProQuest or the UCI Libraries withhold your manuscript for a period of 6 months or 1–6 years. Some authors request embargoes because they have a patent pending, plan to publish in a journal that prefers to publish their work first, or because of sensitive content included in the manuscript. See the Open Access and Embargoes section of the UCI Thesis & Dissertation Formatting Manual for more details.
