Repository and Archiving Policies
Repository policy (policy for use of journal articles in institutional repositories)
The “Repository Policy” refers to the policy of authors of journal articles when they make their work available on the internet, such as in institutional repositories. The Libyan Journal of Medical Research decided on the following policy:
- Articles Used
Only the publisher’s final version, which is a post-peer review paper, is allowed to be used. The use of the final version of the author’s paper and the pre-peer review version is not permitted. However, until the publisher’s final version is published, the publisher’s advance online publication version (the version with a cover page showing the date of receipt, date of acceptance, DOI, etc., on the author’s final manuscript) may be used. It must be replaced when the publisher’s final published version is released. - Permitted sites
Institutional repositories that are operated by domestic and foreign universities and non-profit research institutions.
Websites of research funding organizations that have provided support for the research of this article.
Author’s Website.
Non-commercial online thesis archives. - Terms of use
The copyright holder, source, and DOI must also be indicated. For example, a copyright notice, “© 2022 The Libyan Medical Research Center of Libya.
