Hitit University Press, publisher of Hitit Journal of Social Sciences (e-ISSN: 2757-7449), is pleased to announce its archive policy in line with its policy to support the dissemination of research results:

Hitit University Press 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 can 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 University Press allows all versions of the articles (Submitted version, accepted version, published version) to be stored in an institutional or other archive of the author's choice without embargo.

Hitit Journal of Social Sciences uses the LOCKSS system to allow the creation of permanent archives. Based at Stanford University Libraries, the LOCKSS Program provides libraries and publishers with award-winning, low-cost, open source digital preservation tools to ensure access to permanent and authorized digital content. The LOCKSS Program is a library-led digital preservation system built on the principle of "securing the greatest number of copies." The LOCKSS Program develops and supports libraries using open source end-to-end digital preservation software.
