Absolutely not! "Publication" in the UK RAE and in every other sensible
venue, means (in the case of research articles) publication in a reputable
peer-reviewed journal, not vanity self-publication.
Nor is OA self-archiving self-publication. It is access-provision --
providing supplementary access to an already-published article, in
order to maximise its usage and impact, not in order to generate a
spurious entry under "Publications" in one's CV. The place in one's
CV for unpublished papers is, as always, "Unpublished Papers."
