Archiving Policy

Open Science is committed to the long-term permanent preservation and availability of scholarly publications. Once the articles are published on the journal website, Open Science officially archives the articles in Google Scholar, National Library of Estonia, Portico, CLOCKSS and Scilit.
 

For all Open Science journals, authors retain the copyright of their articles and are allowed to self-archive their work in HTML, Word format or PDF format in any institutional repositories, on the web, or on their personal websites. Authors are permitted to republish their work, for example, as a book chapter. It must be noted that publication in other scholarly journals, from a copyright point of view, is considered duplicate publication and scientific misconduct. In all cases of republication/self-archiving, the actual source (citation) and appropriate credit must be provided, including the link to the published articles at Open Science.
