Archiving Policy

"Journal of Childhood Literacy and Societal Issues" (JOCLSI) recognizes the importance of long-term preservation and accessibility of its published research. This policy outlines the mechanisms and responsibilities related to the archiving of the journal's content.

Archiving Platforms:

  1. Publisher's Repository: JOCLSI's publisher will deposit all accepted manuscripts, including final published versions, in their online repository upon publication. This repository will be maintained with regular backups and disaster recovery procedures.
  2. National and International Repositories: JOCLSI will deposit the final published versions of all articles in at least one relevant national or international scholarly archive, such as PubMed Central or Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The specific repositories will be chosen based on subject area and open access policies.

Author Archiving:

  1. Preprints: Authors are permitted to post preprint versions of their articles on personal websites or institutional repositories prior to official publication in JOCLSI. The preprint versions should clearly acknowledge publication in JOCLSI and link to the published version when available.
  2. Postprints: Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published version of their articles in their institutional repositories, following any embargo periods as specified by the journal or publisher.

Archiving Responsibilities:

  • JOCLSI Editors and Publisher: Responsible for ensuring timely deposit of articles in publisher's and designated national/international repositories.
  • Authors: Responsible for adhering to preprint and postprint policies, ensuring accurate version control, and promoting access to published articles.
