Self-archiving policy
We encourage our authors to share their research publications by self-archiving their work in public repositories or on personal websites. Authors may self-archive their accepted manuscript version, including any revisions made in response to peer review, immediately after acceptance for publication. Authors are also permitted to share their final published article, including any editor's corrections.
Any self-archived version of the manuscript must include a citation to the published article in our journal. We recommend that authors deposit their manuscript in a repository that follows best practices for preservation and long-term access.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that any self-archiving of their work does not infringe upon copyright or any other legal or ethical considerations, including permissions from co-authors, or funders. We do not assume any liability for any copyright infringement resulting from author's self-archiving.
Preprints
Preprints are the author's original version of a research manuscript deposited on a public server prior to formal peer review at a journal; preprints may be posted at any moment during the peer review process.
We recognise the value of preprints in accelerating the dissemination of scientific research and promoting collaboration within the scientific community. Authors are encouraged to post preprints of their manuscripts on preprint servers of their own choice, institutional website, or any other preprint servers prior to submission to the journal.
Posting a preprint does not impact the consideration of the manuscript for publication in our journal. However, authors are required to disclose the existence of any preprint versions of the manuscript during the submission process, including the DOI or other identifier of the preprint, and any subsequent updates or revisions to the preprint.
We may consider manuscripts that have been posted as preprints, but we reserve the right to evaluate the scientific content of the manuscript independently of any preprint versions. Publication of a preprint does not guarantee acceptance of the manuscript for publication in our journal.
Once the preprint manuscript is reviewed by us and is published, authors are responsible for updating the preprint version with a link to the final published article with a DOI and citation to the published article in our journal.
