Yes, but why don't researchers just publish their TEX file? You can regard that as the "source code" for generating PDF/PS whatever no?
I believe it is normal that the publisher requires you to give away your copyright for them to publish your article. You then no longer own the .pdf or the .tex file. For example, the Springer copyright form[1] for their Lecture Notes in Computer Science says: [...] The copyright transfer covers the sole right to print, publish, distribute and sell throughout the world the said Contribution and parts thereof, including all revisions or versions and future editions thereof and in any medium, such as in its electronic form (offline, online), [...] They do allow you to keep a copy of the .pdf file on your own website for archiving purposes, but republishing the article with a single column doesn't seem to be allowed.
