Dear Sir or Madam,


I am writing you this email as I just discovered that a conference paper I have written with Pr. Tim Minshall and Charles Featherston and presented during the Druid conference 2018 is available in open access from the Druid website.


The paper can be found here: https://conference.druid.dk/acc_papers/h2ucr145vdubuoxx4ledwhusa62vwy.pdf


I would like to ask you to remove the pdf of the paper from your website as we plan to submit it to a journal.


The version we prepare for submission is substantially modified compared to the conf' paper but some parts of the text did not change (changing the description of our cases to make them "original" would not really make sense). We would like to avoid the paper to be seen as non-original work because of this. We presented the paper to the conf to get feedbacks (and that was useful) and, we worked it further based on these feedbacks. However, it is natural that some portions of the paper remain the same which fairly does not make the paper "non-original".


Could you, please, remove the paper from your website?


Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
