Pre-Print Policy

Preprint Policy

We accept preprint submissions that have been submitted to any server globally, provided not published in the Journal or at any other similar platform. We encourage authors to submit the author’s copy (preprint) to India's preprint archive at https://indiarxiv.org or any other ArXiv. It also serves as a means to connect graduates with experienced researchers, offering them the opportunity to learn about acceptance of research's purpose, its positive and negative results with ethical practices. We believe that this platform will not only contribute to the advancement of knowledge but also foster a deeper understanding of research practices and principles among aspiring researchers.

Archival Policy

As part of our commitment to both open access and the long-term preservation of academic content, we have enabled the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) on our OJS-PKP. This initiative ensures that our journal content is stored and distributed securely at participating libraries worldwide. By utilizing CLOCKSS, we assure you that your research will be preserved and remain accessible to future generations, even in the event of service disruptions.

For more information on how we distribute our journal content, please visit our CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest page.
