Repository Policy
- The final published version of an article (publisher pdf) can be self-archived on an author's personal website or institutional repository.
- Authors may engage in self-archiving of articles in both public and commercial subject-based repositories without any embargo period. However, in doing so, authors are required to duly acknowledge the published source and furnish a link to the journal home page or the DOI of the articles in question.
- Authors can download and share the article as a PDF without restrictions.
- The publisher permits authors to deposit all paper versions (Submitted, Accepted, Published) in an institutional or other repository without any embargo.
- Lectio Socialis permits authors to post their non-peer-reviewed original research manuscripts on recognized community preprint servers prior to or simultaneously with their formal submission to the journal. Authors may share their work on platforms such as bioRxiv, medRxiv, PeerJ Preprint, or other similar preprint repositories. During the submission process, authors are required to declare in their cover letter if a version of their manuscript has already been posted on a preprint server. Additionally, they must provide any relevant accession numbers or DOIs associated with the preprint. This policy encourages the early dissemination of research while ensuring transparency in the publication process, and it aligns with Lectio Socialis' commitment to open access and broad sharing of academic knowledge.
