Repository and Self-Archiving Policy

The Scientific Journal for Publishing in Health Research and Technology (SJPHRT) supports the principle of open scholarly communication and encourages authors to archive their research. This policy outlines our guidelines for repository use and self-archiving.

1. Long-Term Digital Preservation

  • Official Archiving: To ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content, SJPHRT deposits its articles in [Specify a digital archiving service or institutional repository, e.g., the Academic University Institutional Repository, LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, etc.]. This service guarantees that the journal's content will remain available and accessible for future generations, even in the event of a server failure or other unforeseen circumstances.

2. Self-Archiving (Green Open Access)

  • General Policy: SJPHRT supports authors' rights to self-archive their work. We believe that this practice is crucial for increasing the visibility and impact of scholarly research.

  • Versions of the Manuscript: Authors are permitted to deposit the following versions of their manuscript in institutional, subject-specific, or personal repositories:

    • Pre-print: The initial version of the manuscript that has not yet undergone peer review.

    • Post-print (Author's Accepted Manuscript): The version of the manuscript that has been accepted for publication, including all revisions made during the peer-review process, but not the final, formatted version published by the journal.

    • Published PDF (Version of Record): The final, typeset, and formatted version of the article as it appears on the journal's website.

  • Embargo Period: [Optional: If you wish to implement an embargo period, specify it here. For a fully open-access journal, a zero-day embargo is common. Example: "There is no embargo period. Authors may deposit the final published PDF immediately upon publication."]

  • Citation: When self-archiving, authors are required to include a full citation to the published article on the journal's website, including the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) if available. This ensures that the published version is the definitive source of the record.
