Self-Archiving Policy

As a fully open access journal, IJDDPI permits and encourages authors to deposit all versions of their work — the submitted version (preprint), the accepted manuscript (postprint), and the final published version — in institutional or subject repositories, on preprint servers, and on personal or funder websites, without embargo. The published version should be used wherever possible, and any deposit should cite the article as published in IJDDPI and link to the version on the journal website in line with the CC BY 4.0 licence.
