Archiving Policy

Samalewa utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.

Self-Archiving: Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their accepted manuscripts in personal websites or institutional repositories (Green Open Access) both prior to and after publication, provided that:

  1. The publication in Samalewa is acknowledged as the original source.

  2. A link to the published article on the journal's website (DOI) is included.

This policy ensures that the scholarly content published in Samalewa remains available to the scientific community and the public in the long term, regardless of any potential system failures or changes in the journal's management.
