Guidelines for self-archiving of manuscripts in Sydowia

Authors are allowed to archive a preprint version and the accepted version of their manuscript themselves as follows.

1. Before acceptance for printing, the authors are allowed to make a preprint available prior to international peer review: on his/her own, self-maintained website; on a legally compliant preprint server, e.g. bioRxiv. Once published, the author(s) should provide a link to the final version on the Sydowia website: "This is a preprint of an article published in Sydowia. The final version is available online at: https://doi.org/[insert DOI]".

2. An Author's Accepted Manuscript can be made available after reviewing, but before editing and type-setting as follows:

a. On the personal, self-maintained website of the authors,

b. One year after the initial publication (embargo period) on the employer's internal website, in his/her institutional repository and/or in the repository of his/her sponsor. It should include the following, along with a link to the published version on the publisher's website: "This is a post-peer-reviewed, pre-copy-edited version of an article published in Sydowia. The final version is available online at: https://dx.doi.org/[insert DOI]".

Open Access

When the manuscript is published open access, the final published version can be archived in institutional or funder repositories and made immediately available to the public.
