Repository Policy

To promote wide dissemination and maximize research impact, the journal adheres to the following self-archiving guidelines:

• Permitted Versions:Authors may self-archive all three principal versions of their manuscript:
  • Pre-print(The author's original submitted version, prior to peer review)
  • Author Accepted Manuscript (The version accepted for publication, post-peer review but prior to copyediting and formatting)
  • Version of Record (The final, formatted, and published PDF)
• Permitted Venues:Deposition is authorized in institutional repositories, subject-specific repositories, or on the author's personal or professional website.
• Embargo Period:No embargo period is applied to any manuscript version. Deposition can occur immediately upon submission (for pre-prints) or publication.
• Rationale:This practice is encouraged to facilitate early scholarly exchange and has been shown to correlate with increased citation rates and broader research visibility.
