Inquire:
According to your web page,
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorsview.authors/copyright#whatrights
the author retains
"the right to post a pre-print version of the journal article on Internet web sites including electronic pre-print servers, and to retain indefinitely such version on such servers or sites (see also our information on electronic preprints for a more detailed discussion on these points)"
Just wanted to make sure that the fact of uploading a working version of my article to the digital archive of our University system:
http://www.recercat.net/handle/2072/4832
is not going to prevent fulfillment of the Submission declaration:
"Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis),"

I'd appreciate if you could clarify this question
Answer from Elsevier:
Please be advised that you are not breeching
any copyright restrictions by placing your preprint version on your
institutional website, after all it is one of your retaining rights as a
journal article author
