Authors may share and promote their published works to increase visibility and impact within the scholarly community. Sharing policies vary depending on which version of the article is being distributed. As the journal uses the CC BY 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en), authors have extensive rights to publicly share their content.
Preprint Version: Authors may share their preprint at any time and anywhere. Sharing preprints on public servers, such as institutional repositories or preprint servers (e.g., arXiv), will not be considered prior publication. Upon final acceptance and publication in the journal, authors must link the preprint to the final published article using its DOI.
Accepted Manuscript (AAM): Given the journal's open access nature and the CC BY 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en), authors are permitted to publicly share their accepted manuscript, provided that they link to the final published version via its DOI.
Published Journal Article (PJA): As the journal's publications are open access (freely available immediately upon publication), these articles can be publicly shared under the terms of the CC BY 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en). The final published version is freely available on the journal's website, and authors may share it using the article's DOI link.
Sharing Research Data: Sharing the research data underlying an article (often via data repositories) is strongly recommended to enhance transparency and reproducibility.
