At the Advanced Education Journal, we are committed to ensuring the accessibility and preservation of research outputs. This Archiving and Self-Archiving Policy outlines our guidelines for archiving, self-archiving, and sharing research articles.

1. Archiving Policy:

The Advanced Education Journal is dedicated to preserving all published articles in a digital format.

The publisher maintains its own secure digital archive (ELAKPI), ensuring the long-term availability of articles.

Our archiving policy aligns with international standards for digital preservation and indexing, and we continuously update our systems to adhere to best practices.

2. Self-Archiving Policy:

Authors are encouraged to self-archive their work to increase the visibility and accessibility of their research. Authors may deposit their accepted manuscripts in institutional and subject-based repositories.

Self-archiving is permitted for both preprints and postprints.

3. Preprints and Post-Prints Policy:

Preprints: Authors may submit preprints of their work to preprint servers. We encourage authors to follow these guidelines:

Ensure that the preprint clearly indicates that it is a preprint and has not undergone peer review.

Include a link to the final published version in the preprint.

Post-Prints: Authors may self-archive post-prints, which are the accepted versions of their manuscripts after peer review and before final publication. We recommend the following:

Authors should respect any embargo periods set by preprint servers or institutional repositories.

Include a link to the final published version in the post-print.

Clearly indicate that the post-print has been accepted for publication in the Advanced Education Journal.

4. Recommendations:

Authors should always check the policies of specific preprint servers or repositories to ensure compliance with their guidelines and any embargo periods.

Authors should use persistent identifiers (e.g., DOIs) when self-archiving to ensure proper attribution and linking to the final published article.

We encourage authors to provide open access to their research and, where possible, include a Creative Commons license on self-archived versions.

5. Attribution and Citations:

When referencing self-archived versions, authors should provide appropriate attribution and citations to the original Advanced Education Journal publication.

Our Archiving and Self-Archiving Policy is designed to facilitate the dissemination of research while ensuring the integrity of the publishing process. We believe in the importance of open access, and we encourage authors to share their work in a manner that supports research accessibility and citation.
