Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education supports open access and sharing scholarly works to foster collaboration and knowledge dissemination. This policy outlines the repository archiving permissions for pre-print, post-print, and publisher's version/PDF of manuscripts and published articles under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, while recognizing that authors retain the copyright of their works. Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education follows Sherpa/Romeo's policy.

Pre-Print Archiving

Authors are permitted to archive pre-prints of their manuscripts on institutional or other repositories. The pre-print version refers to the original draft of the article before it undergoes peer review and formal publication. Authors retain the copyright of their pre-prints, and archiving them in repositories allows for early sharing of research findings.

Post-Print Archiving

After peer review and any necessary revisions, authors are encouraged to deposit the accepted version of their articles, also known as post-prints, in institutional repositories. Post-prints represent the final author-approved version before publisher formatting and typesetting. Authors retain the copyright of their post-prints and can share them freely.

Publisher's Version/PDF Archiving

The publisher's version/PDF refers to the final published version of the article as it appears on the Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education website. While authors hold the copyright to their manuscripts, they are permitted to share the publisher's version/PDF in repositories and on personal websites without any embargo periods.

License Conditions

All pre-prints, post-prints, and publisher's versions/PDFs archived in repositories must be accompanied by the appropriate Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. This license allows others to share and adapt the work, but they must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Compliance and Attribution

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their archiving practices comply with Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education policies and copyright regulations. When depositing manuscripts in repositories, authors should provide appropriate attribution to Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education and acknowledge the original publication.

Review of the Policy

Oxygenius Journal of Chemistry Education will periodically review and update this repository policy to ensure its alignment with the evolving best practices in scholarly publishing and repository archiving. Any revisions to this policy will be communicated to authors and made publicly available on the journal's website.
