Can I post a previously published work in an online repository without the publisher’s permission?

Repositories

This depends entirely on the options offered by the copyright holder.

Adding a publication to a repository is a form of disclosure and reproduction, which only the rightsholder is allowed to do. Much will depend on the terms and conditions of use the copyright holder offers to the actual author(s) or on the publication's licensing terms and conditions.
