Self Archiving Policy

The journal upholds authors’ rights to disseminate their work and enhance its accessibility. In this regard, a self-archiving policy—commonly referred to as green open access—has been established to regulate the sharing of different manuscript versions.

Authors are permitted to deposit the preprint version of their manuscript in any repository or on personal or institutional websites at any time without embargo. For the postprint version (Author’s Accepted Manuscript), authors may archive the work in institutional or subject-based repositories, as well as on personal websites, immediately following publication in the journal, provided that a link to the article’s DOI on the journal’s official website is clearly included.

With respect to the final published version, or Version of Record, authors are allowed to archive the work in accordance with the terms of the applicable Creative Commons license. This generally permits redistribution and self-archiving, provided that appropriate attribution is given. Authors are strongly encouraged to include a DOI link directing readers to the official journal version when archiving this version.

This policy is designed to promote the broad dissemination of scholarly work while maintaining the integrity of the peer-review process and preserving the authenticity of the final published article.
