Archiving

We follow Sherpa/Romeo‘s green archiving policy. Both pre-print and post-print or publisher’s version/PDF can be archived, without restrictions.

Digital copies of the publications are deposited in Russian Scientific Library (http://elibrary.ru/title_about.asp?id=67159).

We are a 'green' publisher, as we allow self-archiving, but most importantly we are fully transparent about your rights.

The Authors retain substantial rights, such as self-archiving:

Author(s) are permitted to self-archive a pre-print and an author’s accepted manuscript version of their Article.

a. a pre-print is the author’s version of the Article before peer-review has taken place ("Pre-Print”). Prior to acceptance for publication, Author(s) retain the right to make a Pre-Print of their Article available on any of the following: their own personal, self- maintained website; a legally compliant, non-commercial pre-print server such as but not limited to arXiv and bioRxiv. Once the Article has been published, the Author(s) should update the acknowledgement and provide a link to the definitive version on the publisher’s website: “This is a pre-print of an article published in [insert journal title]. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/[insert DOI]”.

b. An Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) is the version accepted for publication in a journal following peer review but prior to copyediting and typesetting that can be made available under the following conditions:

a. Author(s) retain the right to make an AAM of their Article available on their own personal, self- maintained website immediately on acceptance,

b. Author(s) retain the right to make an AAM of their Article available for public release after first publication: their employer’s internal website; their institutional and/or funder repositories. AAMs may also be deposited in such repositories immediately on acceptance.

An acknowledgement in the following form should be included, together with a link to the published version on the publisher’s website: “This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in [insert journal title]. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/[insert DOI]”.

Publishing open access

If you publish your article open access, the final published version can be archived in institutional or funder repositories and can be made publicly accessible immediately.
