Repository

This repository policy specifies which versions of a manuscript—preprint, submitted manuscript under review (SMUR), accepted manuscript or version of record (VoR) can be deposited in a repository, under what conditions, and specifies the need for proper attribution and links to the published article. JCLS requires linking the deposited version to the JCLC’s website and encourage depositing the version of record (VOR) with this statement included: ‘The version of record of this article, first published in the Journal of Communication, Language and Culture, is available online at Publisher’s website: http://dx.doi.org/[insert DOI]’

We use the following terms and definitions in this repository policy:

Article versions:

  • Preprint: An early version of an article created prior to the version submitted for publication in a journal.
  • Submitted Manuscript Under Review (SMUR): Any version of the article that is under formal review for inclusion in the journal. Please note that publicly sharing manuscripts while they are under review may compromise the anonymity of the peer review process.
  • Accepted Manuscript (AM): The version of the article that has been accepted for publication. This version may include revisions resulting from peer review but may be subject to further modification by the journal (for example, copyediting and typesetting).
  • Version of Record (VoR): The version that is formally published in the journal. This includes any Early View article that is formally identified as being published online before the compilation of a journal issue. The VoR includes any post-publication corrections.

Types of website/repository:

  • Personal webpage: Web pages created by you, about you and your research which are hosted on a non-commercial website (such as your institute’s website). Personal profile pages in commercial sharing sites (such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu and Facebook) are not considered to be personal web pages.
  • Department or institutional repository: Web pages hosted by an academic or research institute or department to provide access to the work of, and to promote the activities of, an institute or department, at all times operating for a non-commercial purpose.
  • Non-commercial subject repository: Web pages hosted by an organization to provide access to the work from researchers working in a subject or range of subjects, at all times operating for a non-commercial purpose.
    • Examples: PubMed Central, arXiv
  • Commercial repository: Any repository that uses content for direct or indirect financial gain. When considering whether a use is commercial or non-commercial, we look at the nature of the activity rather than the nature of the site or organization performing the activity.
    • Examples: ResearchGate, Academia.edu, SSRN
