- Self-archiving: authors are granted broad rights to disseminate their work and may self-archive the following versions:

• Postprint (Author Accepted Manuscript): authors may share the peer-reviewed version immediately after acceptance;
• Publisher’s Version (Version of Record): authors may share the final publisher’s PDF immediately after publication on the Collection’s website.

The Editorial Board of the Collection does not impose an embargo period. All materials are freely available from the moment of publication, and authors may deposit their work in open repositories without delay.

Authors are encouraged to deposit the Publisher’s Version (PDF) of their article in institutional repositories, national digital libraries, academic social networks (ResearchGate, Academia.edu, LinkedIn etc.), as well as on personal websites and blogs.

When self-archiving, authors are requested to provide a full bibliographic reference to the article published in the Collection, include the DOI of the Publisher’s Version to ensure accurate citation tracking, and indicate that the article is distributed under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
