Digital Archiving Policy

In order to digitally preserve all published scholarly content, Journal of Plant Production and Sustainability (JPPS) commits to submit its metadata to LOCKSS and CLOCKSS and other repositories such as SHERPA/RoMEO. This is to make sure that the published scholarly content by JPPS remains available to the community despite any accidental loss of data in its personal archival records. 

Repository

JPPS follows an open access repository policy in alignment with Sherpa/Romeo guidelines. Authors who have published with JPPS retain the right to deposit their papers in repositories, subject to the following conditions:

1. Preprint repositories

Authors can deposit preprints of their manuscripts in any preprint repository without any embargo period.

2. Institutional repositories

Authors can deposit the accepted version of their manuscript (post-print) in their institution's repository without any embargo period. 

3. Central repositories

Authors can deposit the accepted version of their manuscript (post-print) in central repositories such as PubMed Central without any embargo period.

4. Author's personal website or blog

Authors can share the final published version or the accepted version of their manuscript on their personal websites or blogs immediately upon publication.

We encourage authors to provide proper attribution to the published work and to include a link to the original publication on the JPPS website. This policy aims to enhance the visibility and accessibility of research outputs while respecting any potential publishing agreements.
