SJOMR may follow repository policies that are typical for academic journals. Here’s a general outline of what such a policy might look like. For the specific policy of SJOMR, you'd need to check their author guidelines or consult directly with the journal.

General Repository Policy for Academic Journals

  1. Preprint Archiving:

    • Authors are often allowed to archive preprints (the version of the manuscript before peer review) on preprint servers or personal websites.
    • Preprints must usually be clearly marked as “preprint” to distinguish from the final published version.
  2. Postprint Archiving:

    • Some journals allow the archiving of postprints (the version after peer review but before final copyediting and formatting) in institutional repositories or personal websites.
    • Embargo periods might apply (e.g., 6–12 months after publication), depending on the journal's open-access policies.
  3. Published Version:

    • The final published version (the Version of Record) is typically restricted. Journals often do not allow this version to be posted publicly except on the publisher’s own platform.
    • However, some open-access journals or hybrid journals may allow authors to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) for open access, making the final version freely available.
  4. Licensing:

    • Journals may offer open-access options with specific licensing terms, such as Creative Commons licenses (CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, etc.).
    • It is crucial to follow the terms of the license when depositing articles in repositories.
  5. Acknowledgment of Publisher:

    • When archiving any version of the manuscript, authors are typically required to acknowledge the journal and publisher, and provide a link to the official version of the article on the publisher’s website.
