Self Archiving Policy

 Self-Archiving Policy

Literary Voice supports the dissemination of research by allowing authors to self-archive their work in various stages of publication. This policy ensures that authors can share their research widely while maintaining the integrity and visibility of the journal. Below are the guidelines for self-archiving different versions of your article:

Versions of the Article

   - Authors may self-archive the preprint version (the version before peer review) at any time, on any platform. 

  1. Accepted Version (Postprint):

  1. Published Version:

   - Authors may self-archive the final published version (the version with editorial and formatting changes) in institutional repositories, personal websites, or other open-access platforms. 

Acknowledgement Requirement

When self-archiving any version of the article, authors must include the following acknowledgment: 

“This is the [preprint/accepted/postprint] version of the article: [FULL CITATION: Article title, author(s), journal name, volume, issue, year, DOI/link to the article, link to the journal https://literaryvoiceglobal.in], which has been published in its final form at [link to the final article].”
