Embargoes are used when you want a delayed release of your paper.
You might want to use an embargo when:
you're using your instructor's research data for your paper and they are not ready to publish that work
you're just not ready to share your work yet
Embargoes are usually put in place by the author; If there is an error, regarding your thesis please contact the Scholarly Communications Librarianat dominican.scholar@dominican.edu
