Self-Archiving Policy

Self-Archiving Policy

This policy outlines the ways in which authors in SUSJ can archive copies of their work on their personal websites, their institution's repositories, or in subject-specific repositories.

• As an Open Access journal, articles in SUSJ are published immediately under an open access license. The journal encourages authors to share the final published version (Version of Record) rather than the accepted manuscript.
• Authors are permitted to reuse the article's metadata—such as the title, author list, and publication date—on any platform, including social media (e.g., Facebook, blogs, Twitter), provided they link back to the article's final version on the official SUSJ website and include the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
• Authors may also self-archive the accepted manuscript (post-peer review, but before publisher formatting) on personal websites, institutional websites, or in institutional/subject repositories. SUSJ does not enforce an embargo period for this type of self-archiving.
