Archive Policy: LOCKSS
Warehouse Policy: Publisher's Own Site

The publisher of Hitit Medical Journal (e-ISSN: 2687-4717) is pleased to announce its archive policy in accordance with its policy of supporting the dissemination of research results.
- Hitit Medical Journal allows authors to use the final published version of an article (publisher pdf) for self-archiving (author's personal website) and/or archiving in an institutional repository after publication.
- Authors may self-archive their articles in public and/or commercial subject-based repositories. There is no embargo period but the published source must be cited and a link to the journal home page or DOI of the articles must be set.
- Authors can download the manuscript as a PDF document. Authors can send copies of the article to colleagues without any embargo.
- Hitit Medical Journal allows all versions of articles (Submitted version, accepted version, published version) to be stored in an institutional or other archive of the author's choice without embargo.
- Hitit Medical Journal uses the LOCKSS system to allow the creation of permanent archives. Based at Stanford University Libraries, the LOCKSS Programme provides libraries and publishers with award-winning, low-cost, open source digital preservation tools to ensure access to permanent and authoritative digital content. The LOCKSS Programme is a library-led digital preservation system built on the principle of "securing large numbers of copies". The LOCKSS Programme develops and supports libraries using open source end-to-end digital preservation software.
