Self-Archiving Policy
The
National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology (NJPPP) is committed
to fostering open access to scientific research and promoting the wider
dissemination of knowledge. Our self-archiving policy empowers authors by
allowing them to share their research at various stages of the publication
process, from pre-submission to the final published article. This approach
ensures that valuable scientific work is not confined by paywalls and is
readily accessible to the global research community.
Pre-submitted Manuscripts
Authors
are encouraged to proactively share their pre-submission manuscripts on
preprint servers or repositories before submitting to NJPPP. This early
dissemination facilitates engagement with fellow researchers and subject
experts, potentially increasing the visibility and impact of the work. Authors
should provide details about the pre-submitted manuscript, including the
repository and corresponding DOI, in the cover letter during submission.
Submitted Manuscripts
Authors
can archive their manuscripts after submission but before the initiation of the
peer review process. To ensure transparency, authors need to email the
journal's editorial office with information about the repository and
corresponding DOI where the manuscript is archived.
Under Review State
During
the peer review process, authors retain the permission to archive their
manuscripts. An email to the journal's editorial office with details about the
repository and associated DOI ensures accurate documentation and transparency.
Accepted Manuscripts
Once
a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors can archive the accepted
version. Authors are required to email the journal's editorial office with
information about the repository and corresponding DOI.
