Preprints
Lectio Socialis welcomes the early sharing of research. Authors may post the non-peer-reviewed version of their manuscript on recognized social-science preprint servers — such as SSRN and SocArXiv — before or at the time of submission. Authors should state in the cover letter that a preprint exists and provide its DOI or accession number. Posting a preprint does not affect editorial consideration.
Preservation and persistent access
The version of record is published and preserved on the DergiPark platform, operated by TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM, and is additionally preserved through LOCKSS. Each article is registered with Crossref and assigned a DOI to ensure persistent, citable access. The journal’s metadata are openly available for harvesting via OAI-PMH.
