By signing the Copyright Letter, authors retain certain self-archiving rights (subject to certain restrictions).
The self-archiving policy of Bentham Science journals includes the following key provisions:
Authors may deposit the first draft of a submitted article on their personal websites or their institution's repositories for personal use, internal institutional use, or for permitted scholarly posting only.
Authors may deposit the ACCEPTED VERSION of their peer-reviewed article on their personal websites, their institution's repository or non-commercial repositories such as PMC and arXiv, after 12 MONTHS from the article’s publication on the journal’s website. This is permitted only for personal use, internal institutional use, or scholarly posting.
When depositing the accepted version as mentioned in (2), authors must acknowledge the original source of publication by providing a link to the published article on the journal’s/publisher’s website. The DOI number of the article must be included using the following format: "The published manuscript is available at EurekaSelect via https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI."
If the research is funded by organizations such as the NIH, Wellcome Trust, or other Open Access Mandates, authors may archive the published version of their manuscript in designated institutional repositories, after the mandatory embargo period. Authors should first contact the Editorial Office of the journal for guidance on depositing a copy of the manuscript in a repository. Consistent with the copyright agreement, Bentham Science does not permit the archiving of the FINAL PUBLISHED VERSION of a manuscript unless it is covered under an Open Access mandate. Archiving under any of the above Open Access mandates must comply with the Creative Commons License CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 - Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.
Articles published under the OPEN ACCESS PLUS or Gold Open Access category have no embargo on archiving. Authors may deposit such articles in institutional, non-commercial repositories and personal websites immediately after publication on the journal’s website. This is done under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License CC-BY 4.0.
For all forms of archiving, authors must acknowledge the original source of publication and provide a direct link to the published article on the journal’s/publisher’s website. The link to the original source of publication should be provided by including the DOI number of the article in the following sentence: "The published manuscript is available at EurekaSelect via https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert DOI."
To ensure permanent access to our publications, Bentham Science has partnered with Portico for the long-term preservation of all content published in its journals.
